Hi Fluffy,

Thanks for posting this.

As discussed the PI award is likely to be important, so at the appropriate time you will need more info, particularly as to whether liability is accepte

PI awards are split into 2. There are general damages, and special damages.

General damages are for pain, suffering and loss of amenity. You will not get a share of these, however, these are by far the minor aspect of the award.

The major aspect is the special damages, which is for things such as loss of earnings. Due to the earning difference between you, this is where the importance of the award lies.

Let us know when you have more details and we can help further.
