    Fracture At Work Claims

    There are many different types of fracture at work claims and these types of injury are commonplace in the field of personal injury law.

    Some working environments present a greater risk of sustaining a fracture injury than others. However, if you consider the amount of tripping, slipping and falling hazards there are in any given working environment then it is obvious to see how easily fractures happen. These risks are heightened when your employer has failed to implement the necessary health and safety conditions.

    If you have had a fracture at work, you may be able to claim personal injury compensation. If your accident occurred because of the actions or negligence of your employer, we may be able to help. A personal injury claim must be made within a strict 3-year time limit. We recommend that you contact us as soon as possible. If you’ve had a fracture at work, call our solicitors today on 0800 098 8127 or contact us online to discuss your potential claim newclaims@jefferiessolicitors.com

    Different types of fractures

    • Closed fractures happen when there has been no breaking of the skin over the broken bone
    • Open fractures occur when the skin has broken and there is a wound; these are prone to infection
    • Compound fractures are when there have been several bones which have broken. Surgery is often required for these injuries
    • Comminuted fractures (sometimes called multi-fragmentary fractures) are bones that are completely shattered due to high impact. They can often lead to sustained periods of absence from work
    • Avulsion fractures occur when a small piece of bone comes away from the main part of the bone
    • Longitudinal fractures are when the break forms vertically down the bone rather than across it

    There are many other kinds of fractures and this list is not exhaustive.

    Ways in which you may acquire a fracture at work

    • Falling from a height e.g. off ladders on a construction site
    • Objects falling on workers from a height
    • Falling or tripping on a wet surface
    • Tripping over objects obstructing a pathway
    • Industrial machinery not being used correctly and crushing or injuring
