Compensation for fracture injuries is categorised into two main types:

• General damages: These address the physical pain and psychological distress resulting from your fracture injury. The severity of your injuries will determine the compensation payable.
• Special damages: This category includes any financial repercussions due to your fracture, such as medical expenses, lost wages owing to an inability to work and other related support or travel costs.

The amount of compensation you might be able to claim will be unique to your personal circumstances. Consult with our solicitors and we’ll help you to understand how much you may be entitled to claim.

You should prioritise your wellbeing before doing anything else. However, if you've sustained a fracture due to an accident, there are several steps you can take:

• Seek medical attention: As well as being an essential step to take following an injury, the medical documentation that your practitioner will create will be important when making a compensation claim. The assessment and diagnosis from a healthcare professional stand as compelling evidence.
• Report the incident: If your injury happened at work, in a public space or directly due to someone else's negligence in any setting, notify the relevant party. The report will not only create an official record but can also lead the person or organisation responsible to take preventative measures to make sure others don't suffer similarly.
• Document the evidence: Photographs capturing the aftermath of the incident or the severity of your injury can be invaluable. While it might not be your first thought to do so, capturing visual evidence can significantly strengthen your claim.

Pursuing a legal claim isn't solely about financial recompense; it's about establishing a foundation of support, making sure you have the best chances of making a healthy recovery and rebuilding your future.
