Terms & Conditions

1. Introduction

Welcome to Compensation-Calculator.co.uk (the "Website").

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") apply to your access to and use of the Website, its compensation calculators, informational content and related features.

Please read these Terms before using the Website. If you do not agree with them, you should stop using the relevant website services.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to remove or restrict rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

2. About Compensation-Calculator.co.uk

Compensation-Calculator.co.uk is an informational website offering UK-focused compensation estimation tools.

Our calculators are designed to help visitors explore the factors that may affect compensation for injuries, accidents and associated financial losses.

Information on the Website is educational in nature and may cover:

• Personal injury compensation.
• Road traffic accident compensation.
• Injury severity and indicative compensation values.
• General information about financial losses.
• Selected legal principles and calculation methods relevant to UK compensation claims.

The Website does not, merely by providing a calculator or article, create a solicitor-client relationship or undertake representation in a legal matter.

3. Use of the Website

You may access the Website for lawful personal, educational and informational purposes.

You are responsible for ensuring that information you enter into a calculator is appropriate for the estimate you wish to explore.

Our services are generally intended for visitors seeking information about UK compensation matters.

You should not treat use of the Website as a substitute for obtaining an individual assessment from an appropriately qualified professional.

4. Compensation Calculator Estimates

Our calculators provide indicative estimates based on selected inputs, reference figures and calculation assumptions.

An estimate generated by the Website is not a guaranteed settlement, court award or confirmed amount of compensation.

4.1 How Estimates Are Generated

Depending on the calculator, the estimate may consider factors such as:

• The type of injury or accident.
• The selected injury severity.
• Recovery duration, where relevant.
• Indicative compensation reference ranges or statutory tariffs, where applicable.
• Optional financial losses entered by the visitor.

4.2 Why Actual Compensation May Differ

An actual compensation outcome may differ substantially from an online estimate. Relevant factors may include:

• Medical evidence and prognosis.
• Liability and any contributory negligence.
• The applicable law, jurisdiction and accident date.
• Evidence of financial losses.
• Injury overlap or multiple-injury assessment.
• Applicable compensation rules, tariffs and legal developments.

4.3 Financial Losses

Some calculators allow visitors to enter optional losses, including lost earnings, travel expenses, treatment costs or care expenses.

Including an amount in a calculator does not establish that the expense is legally recoverable. Supporting evidence and individual circumstances may be required.

4.4 Reference Figures

Compensation reference figures may change over time. Different rules may also apply according to the date of the accident and the UK jurisdiction.

Calculator estimates should therefore be treated as preliminary information, not as a definitive valuation of a claim.

5. Legal, Medical and Financial Information

Content on the Website is provided for general informational and educational purposes.

The Website does not provide individual legal representation, medical diagnosis or personalised financial advice through its published calculators and articles.

Legal rules and compensation principles can vary by jurisdiction and circumstance.

You should consult a suitably qualified professional when making decisions involving legal rights, medical treatment, claim deadlines or substantial financial consequences.

Please do not delay medical attention or time-sensitive legal action solely because of information provided on the Website.

6. Claim Eligibility and Time Limits

Compensation eligibility depends on applicable law and the specific circumstances of a claim.

A calculator cannot independently establish whether a legal duty existed, whether it was breached or whether compensation is payable.

Legal time limits may apply to claims. These can vary according to claim type, jurisdiction, age and other relevant circumstances.

Do not rely on a calculator estimate to determine your limitation period or whether a claim is valid.

If you believe you may have a claim, seek appropriate professional advice without unnecessary delay.

7. Acceptable Use

Visitors must use the Website lawfully and must not interfere with its proper operation.

You must not:

• Use the Website for unlawful or fraudulent purposes.
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to website systems, accounts or servers.
• Introduce malicious software or harmful code.
• Deliberately interfere with website security, performance or availability.
• Submit abusive, threatening or unlawful content through contact facilities.
• Reproduce substantial portions of protected website content without permission or another lawful basis.

Where reasonably necessary, we may take proportionate steps to protect the Website, investigate misuse or restrict abusive activity, subject to applicable law.

11. Responsibility and Liability

Calculator results and educational information are intended to help visitors understand potential compensation considerations.

They do not replace individual professional assessment and should not be used as the sole basis for decisions about legal proceedings, settlements or medical matters.

We do not guarantee that a particular compensation estimate will match an eventual settlement or court award.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, our responsibility for losses connected with use of the Website is subject to the relevant legal rules and circumstances.
