If you have experienced a personal injury in Clevedon, securing fair compensation can be vital for your recovery. Whether your injury occurred in a road traffic accident, at work, in a public place or due to medical negligence, Marley Solicitors are here to support you with expert legal advice tailored to your situation.
Our team combines in-depth legal expertise with a deep understanding of the challenges injured individuals face. We also offer a user-friendly personal injury compensation calculator to help you estimate how much your claim could be worth. With our dedicated local service in Clevedon, you are in safe hands from the start of your claim to the final settlement.
What is a personal injury compensation calculator?
A personal injury compensation calculator is a useful tool that provides a general estimate of the amount of compensation you might be able to claim based on your injury. It considers:
- The type of injury (e.g. fracture, soft tissue damage, head injury)
- The location of the injury on the body
- The level of pain, suffering and loss of amenity
- Whether your injury is temporary or long-term
- Financial losses, such as lost income and treatment expenses
While no online tool can replace personal legal advice, the calculator helps you understand the potential value of your claim before speaking with a solicitor.
We advise all potential clients in Clevedon to use our calculator as a starting point and then contact our team directly for a full, bespoke assessment of their claim.
Accidents and injuries we help with in Clevedon
Marley Solicitors act for clients across Clevedon and North Somerset who have suffered a wide range of personal injuries. Common types of claims include:
Road traffic accidents
This includes injuries to drivers, passengers, pedestrians and cyclists. Whether the accident happened on the M5, in central Clevedon or in country lanes near Walton-in-Gordano, we can assist.
Workplace accidents
If you were injured at work due to unsafe equipment, lack of training, a fall from height or another hazard, you may be eligible for compensation. We help employees across sectors including construction, manufacturing, logistics, and retail.
Public place injuries
Slips and trips in supermarkets, injuries caused by defective pavements or accidents in parks can often lead to valid personal injury claims. We regularly deal with cases involving large national retailers as well as local businesses in Hill Road and the Triangle area.
Medical negligence
This may involve misdiagnosis, surgical errors, negligent treatment or poor aftercare. We assist clients who have received substandard care from local providers, including those under the North Somerset Community Partnership or University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust.
Injuries caused by animals
We also assist with dog bite claims or injuries involving livestock, which are more common in semi-rural areas such as Clevedon, Kenn and Kingston Seymour.
Injuries in schools and nurseries
Children injured due to lack of supervision or unsafe premises may also have a valid claim. We support parents in pursuing compensation on behalf of their children while ensuring their wellbeing remains the top priority.
How much is a personal injury claim worth in Clevedon?
The value of a personal injury claim is based on two main elements:
- General damages for pain, suffering and loss of amenity
- Special damages for financial losses, including medical costs, travel, lost earnings, care needs and more
Here are some average guideline amounts for specific injuries:
- Minor soft tissue injury: £1,000–£3,000
- Broken wrist: £3,000–£10,000
- Moderate back injury: £11,000–£26,000
- Serious leg fracture: £30,000–£50,000
- Loss of limb: £90,000–£250,000
- Traumatic brain injury: £100,000–£300,000+
- Psychological trauma or PTSD: £5,000–£100,000 depending on severity
Your compensation may also include future loss of earnings or the cost of long-term care and support, particularly if your injuries affect your ability to work or live independently.
Why accurate calculation matters
Many people under-claim because they do not understand the full impact of their injuries or are pressured by insurers to settle early. Our calculator gives you a starting point, but our solicitors go further by thoroughly investigating your injuries, financial losses, and ongoing needs.
We also work with trusted medical professionals, such as those at Clevedon Hospital, Backwell Dental Care, and Southmead Hospital in Bristol, to produce independent medical reports to support your case.

- You pay nothing upfront
- You only pay legal fees if your claim is successful
- If we do not win your case, you pay nothing
