Am I entitled to any interest on the compensation I receive ?
Yes, but only if your compensation is for more than £200.
On Special Damages you are entitled to interest at half the "special investment account rate". This is a special interest rate applied to court funds. This changes from time to time, it is currently 6%. So you would be entitled to half this rate.
On General Damages you are entitled to 2% per year, but only for those losses relating to your "pain and suffering" and inability to carry out day to day tasks or hobbies. The court may in special circumstances be able to award more than 2%.
