When you’re injured because of someone else’s actions, the law allows you to claim compensation to help you get back on your feet. These different types of compensation are called “heads of damage.” Each head of damage covers a specific area of loss you’ve experienced as a result of your injury.
At TPIL Lawyers, we break this down into simple, everyday language so you know exactly what you may be entitled to claim.
This covers the physical pain and emotional impact your injury has had on your life—both now and into the future. It recognises how your day-to-day life has changed because of the accident.
If your injury caused you to take time off work, reduce your hours, or miss out on income you would have earned, you may be able to claim for that lost income.

If your ability to work has been affected long-term—whether that’s reduced capacity, fewer job options, or needing lighter duties—this head of damage helps protect your future financial stability.

This includes repayment of past medical expenses and coverage for future treatment you may need, such as GP visits, specialists, medication, surgery, physiotherapy, or psychological support.
If you now need help around the home—cleaning, shopping, personal care, or yard work—you may be entitled to claim the cost of paid care or the value of help provided by family or friends.
This covers the practical costs that come with an injury, such as travel to appointments, equipment (like crutches or braces), or home/vehicle modifications.
Find out whether you’re eligible for compensation with our compensation calculator. One of our experienced lawyers will be in touch shortly after to discuss your case and your compensation estimate.
Understanding the different heads of damage ensures you don’t miss out on compensation you’re legally entitled to. Every injury affects people differently, which is why TPIL Lawyers take the time to fully understand your situation so we can build the strongest claim for you.
If you’re unsure what you may be able to claim, our team can walk you through it—clearly, simply, and with your best outcome at heart.
