(iii) the effect on working and/or social life;

Cases where there are one or two discrete epileptic episodes, or a temporary resurgence of epilepsy, but there is no risk of further recurrence beyond that applicable to the population at large.

Figures shown are based on Judicial Boards Guidelines (JSB) of what a particular type of injury may be valued by a Court of Law. An injury is valued by the Courts on the basis of the Guidelines provided by the guide and specific cases that the Courts have settled. The value of each claim will depend upon the injury and the medical evidence obtained, though these figures give you some idea as to where your injury would be within the bracket.
