    How Much Compensation For a Broken Leg?

    If you have suffered a broken leg in the workplace, in a public place or anywhere else, through no fault of your own, you may be entitled to compensation. There is no set fee for this type of injury, however, there are guidelines to give you an idea of how much you are likely to receive.

    Call Jefferies Solicitors to talk to us about your accident and to find out how much compensation for a broken leg you could be entitled to. There is a strict time limit of 3 years from the date of injury when you can make your claim, so it’s important that you don’t delay and get in touch as soon as you can. We offer a no win, no fee service.

    Broken leg claims vary

    When considering how much compensation for a broken leg you could be entitled to, you should bear in mind the severity of your injury. While you may not think a broken leg sounds particularly serious, it could have a significant impact on your life.

    The femur, tibia and fibula are all fairly robust bones existing in the upper and lower leg. Hairline fractures to any of these bones are often not dramatically detrimental. However, if you have a multiple or complex break, or the bone has been broken previously, your recovery is likely to be longer.

    This can mean 24-hour care is required and you may not be able to return to work which could lead to a loss of earnings. It is the law that you should be compensated for this if the accident was not your fault.

    The amount of compensation you could receive for your broken leg is something that is decided based on previous cases. Other special damages are considered too. These may include expenses paid out for transport costs to medical appointments, for example.

    Amounts of compensation for a broken leg

    Level of injury

    Potential compensation

    Very serious leg injuries where multiple fractures have taken years to heal required extensive treatment and have led to serious deformity and limitation of movement. £43,710 – £67,410
    Serious compound or comminuted fractures resulting in instability, prolonged treatment, a lengthy period of non-weight-bearing, the near certainty that arthritis will ensue and extensive scarring £31,250 – £43,710
    Complicated or multiple fractures or severe crushing injuries £22,130 – £31,250
    Leg fractures from which an incomplete recovery is made £14,320 – £22,130
    Simple fracture to the femur £7,270 – £11,220
    Simple fractures to the tibia or fibula Up to £9,440

    After speaking to you about your accident, if you are eligible to make a claim, your solicitor will examine all the aspects of your claim in detail. They will also refer to their own guidelines and previous cases when calculating how much compensation for a broken leg they think you should be able to make a claim for. This will include the pain, suffering and loss you have encountered as a result of your broken leg.

    Jefferies Solicitors has been handling broken leg compensation cases for a number of years. There is a strict time limit of 3 years from the date of injury when you can make your claim. Call us on 0800 342 3206 or make a claim online so we can start working with you to get the compensation amount you deserve.

    HOW DOES THE CLAIMS PROCESS WORK?

    At Jefferies Solicitors, once we have carried out an initial consultation, we will take care of the paperwork required to get your case underway.

    A letter will be sent to you following an initial consultation with your solicitor. This will be a summary of the discussion you had and will confirm that they are happy to take on your case. It will highlight who will be your contact and estimate how long the process will take. The letter will also detail how you will be funding the case and an estimate of costs. If you need to provide any further information this will also be included.

    A letter will then be sent to the defendant, providing details of the accident. The defendant has a fixed period in which they can reply and in their reply, they must state whether or not they are denying or accepting liability for your injuries. If they do accept liability, your solicitor will endeavour to settle the case out of court.

    How much compensation for a broken leg?

    All personal injury cases are unique and so the amount of compensation that is awarded in each case is also unique. The amount of compensation that is awarded is determined by looking at two distinct factors – general damages and special damages.

    GENERAL DAMAGES

    The pain and suffering that your injuries have caused is the main factor that is used to determine how much compensation you are owed. This will usually be determined by undergoing a medical examination, from which a report is created that outlines the length of time the injuries will take to heal as well as their severity.

    Our compensation calculator gives an indication of how much you might be entitled to based on your injuries. Jefferies Solicitors will take these different details relating to your injury into account when calculating how much compensation you should be awarded, which will then be put forward to the opposing side and the judge.

    SPECIAL DAMAGES

    However, compensation also takes into account any financial losses that you might have suffered as a result of your injuries, such as a loss of earnings due to being unable to return to work. If you have had to pay for treatment or travel to treatment, compensation may also be able to cover this as well. Therefore, you should keep any receipts or other documents that help to outline the extent of your financial losses, as caused by your accident/injuries.
