Psychiatric Damage
When calculating the amount of compensation you might receive with psychiatric damage the factors that need to be taken into account are:
- The injured person’s ability to cope with life and work.
- The effect on the injured person’s relationships with family, friends and those with whom he or she comes into contact with.
- The extent to which treatment would be successful
- Future vulnerability
- Prognosis
- Whether medical help has been sought
- Whether the injury results from sexual and/or physical abuse and/or breach of trust.
- If so the nature of the relationship between the victim and abuser, the nature of the abuse, its duration and the symptoms caused by it.
For severe cases the amount could be in the region of £32,000 to £67,000.
For moderately severe cases the amount could be in the region of £11,200 to £32,000.
With moderate cases the amount could be in the region of £3,400 to £11,200.
With minor cases the account could be in the region of £840 to £3,450.
