Why No Two RAF Claims Are The Same
Every RAF claim is unique, which means compensation amounts can vary significantly from one case to another. Factors such as the severity of the injuries, the claimant’s age, income before the accident, future medical expenses, ability to work, and the long-term physical or emotional impact of the injuries all play an important role in determining compensation. For this reason, previous awards should not be viewed as a guarantee of what a future claim may be worth. Each claim is assessed on its own facts and circumstances.
