The calculation of past and future losses in personal injury and clinical negligence cases can be a lengthy, technical and complex matter. Facts & Figures 2026/27 is designed to guide barristers, insurers, solicitors and all levels of the judiciary through the issues that such a calculation can involve. It is compiled with input from many sources, including lawyers, accountants and actuaries, as well as nursing, housing and motoring consultants.

All examples have been updated using the confirmed PIDR of 0.5%. An updated section on the valuing of claims for accommodation, following the Court of Appeal’s decision in Swift v Carpenter.
