Disclaimer

1. Introduction

This Disclaimer applies to the website Compensation-Calculator.co.uk (the "Website"), including its calculators, informational pages and associated features.

By using the Website, you acknowledge that the content and calculator results are intended to provide general educational information about potential compensation claims.

This Disclaimer should be read alongside our Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy .

Nothing in this Disclaimer is intended to exclude rights or legal protections that cannot lawfully be excluded.

2. Purpose of This Website

Compensation-Calculator.co.uk provides informational tools designed to help visitors understand factors that may influence compensation estimates in the United Kingdom.

Website content may cover topics such as:

• Personal injury compensation.
• Road traffic accident claims.
• Injury severity and indicative compensation ranges.
• General damages for pain, suffering and loss of amenity.
• Potential financial losses associated with injuries.
• Selected UK compensation rules, tariffs and assessment principles.

Our calculators are informational tools. They do not independently determine whether a visitor has a valid legal claim.

3. Compensation Calculator Disclaimer

Our calculators generate indicative figures based on the information selected or entered by visitors.

Depending on the tool, calculations may use indicative injury ranges, statutory tariff amounts, selected severity levels and optional financial losses.

3.1 Estimates Are Not Guaranteed Awards

A compensation estimate displayed on the Website is not a guaranteed settlement amount, court award or legally established entitlement.

Actual compensation may be higher or lower than the figure shown, and in some circumstances no compensation may be recoverable.

3.2 Individual Circumstances Matter

Actual claim valuations may depend on several factors, including:

• Medical evidence.
• The nature and severity of an injury.
• Recovery prognosis and long-term effects.
• Liability and contributory negligence.
• Applicable compensation rules and case law.
• The date of the accident and relevant jurisdiction.
• Supporting evidence for financial losses.

3.3 No Automatic Right to Compensation

Entering an injury type, selecting severity or completing the calculator does not create a right to compensation.

The existence and value of a claim require consideration of applicable law and relevant evidence.

4. Compensation Figures and Reference Values

Injury compensation figures may be informed by published guidance, relevant statutory rules and general valuation principles.

Some calculators may display estimated ranges or use simplified calculation assumptions to generate a numerical result.

4.1 Judicial College Guidelines

The Judicial College Guidelines are used in England and Wales as a reference for assessing general damages in personal injury cases.

They are guidance rather than a guarantee of the amount that will be awarded in an individual case.

Any Website figures described as indicative ranges should not be treated as exact reproductions of current published Judicial College Guidelines unless expressly verified and identified as such.

4.2 Statutory Whiplash Tariffs

Some eligible road traffic injury claims in England and Wales may be subject to statutory whiplash compensation tariffs.

The applicable provisions can depend on factors including the accident date, type of injury, circumstances of the accident and relevant eligibility conditions.

A general injury calculator should not be assumed to reproduce the result of every statutory tariff assessment.

4.3 Changes to Compensation Values

Compensation reference figures, statutory tariffs and other legal rules may change over time.

An estimate may differ from the figure that would be appropriate under the rules applicable to a particular accident or claim.

5. Liability and Claim Eligibility

A compensation claim generally requires assessment of the relevant legal requirements and supporting facts.

A calculator cannot, merely from a visitor's selections, establish liability, breach of duty, causation or legal entitlement.

Claim eligibility may depend on:

• Who was responsible for the incident.
• Whether a relevant legal duty existed and was breached.
• Whether the breach caused the injury or loss.
• Whether sufficient evidence is available.
• Whether legal deadlines and procedural requirements are satisfied.

A numerical estimate should therefore not be interpreted as confirmation that compensation is payable.

6. Financial Losses and Additional Expenses

Some calculators allow visitors to enter financial losses related to an injury or accident.

These may include:

• Loss of earnings.
• Medical and treatment expenses.
• Travel costs.
• Rehabilitation expenses.
• Care and assistance costs.
• Other potentially relevant financial losses.

Entering these amounts into a calculator does not mean they are automatically recoverable.

Actual recovery may depend on legal entitlement, reasonable expenditure, causation, mitigation and documentary evidence.

7. No Substitute for Professional Advice

7.1 Legal Advice

Information published on the Website does not constitute personalised legal advice or legal representation.

Use of the Website does not itself establish a solicitor-client relationship.

Visitors should consult an appropriately qualified legal professional where their circumstances require an individual assessment.

7.2 Medical Advice

Our content and calculator results do not provide medical diagnosis, treatment advice or a medical prognosis.

Injury severity selections do not replace a professional medical examination.

Seek appropriate medical assistance for symptoms, injuries or health concerns.

7.3 Financial Advice

Information concerning financial losses, payments or compensation values is provided for general information.

It should not be treated as personalised financial or regulated advice.

8. Differences Across UK Jurisdictions

The United Kingdom includes separate legal jurisdictions with different rules and procedures.

The relevant law may differ between:

• England and Wales.
• Scotland.
• Northern Ireland.

Some compensation systems, statutory tariffs and procedural rules may apply only in specific jurisdictions.

Unless a calculator expressly states otherwise, visitors should not assume its estimate applies identically throughout the United Kingdom.

When using a calculator, check any jurisdiction information provided on that page.

9. Legal Claim Time Limits

Different types of compensation claims may be subject to limitation periods and other deadlines.

These deadlines may depend on:

• The claim type.
• The applicable legal jurisdiction.
• The age of the injured person.
• Relevant dates, including when an injury occurred or became known.
• Any applicable exceptions or special rules.

The Website does not determine whether your particular claim is within time.
