    Financial loss

    Financial loss claims

    When you make a personal injury claim, it is easy to assume that you can only claim for the pain and suffering you have experienced as a result of your injuries. However, you are also entitled to claim for other financial losses, like property damage.

    It is frustrating and inconvenient when you are without your property, and it is only right that you seek the replacement cost of this. Examples of financial loss and property that you can claim for include

    • replacement clothing
    • mobile phone
    • broken glasses
    • replacement helmet
    • leathers for motorcyclists
    • broken laptops
    • new bike where bicycle cannot be repaired

    It is important that you keep these damaged items after your accident, and where possible take photos of them, too. If you have the purchase receipt for these items, then that would help when building and proving your case, however it is not necessary to have them.
