Amount of compensation in claims against Aldi

Every personal injury claim is different, therefore meaning that every compensation amount will be unique and is not operated on a 'one size fits all' basis. The amount of compensation that is awarded is determined by looking at two distinct factors – general damages and special damages.

Except for children, there is a three-year time limit on making a personal injury claim. This time limit begins from the date that the accident occurred. You should contact us as soon as possible to assess your case.
