Broken or Fractured Bone Claims

Broken or Fractured Bone Claims

Suffering from a broken or fractured bone can be an incredibly painful and life-altering experience. Whether caused by an accident at work, a road traffic accident, or a slip and fall incident, fractures often require extensive medical treatment, long recovery times, and sometimes long-term rehabilitation. In some cases, they can result in permanent disability or long-lasting pain.

If you’ve experienced a bone fracture due to someone else’s negligence or recklessness, you may be entitled to compensation. At HPA Solicitors Ltd, we offer expert legal support to help you recover compensation for your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and other related costs.

Types of Broken or Fractured Bone Injuries

Bone fractures can occur in various parts of the body, and the severity of the injury can range from a simple hairline fracture to a more severe compound fracture. Common types of broken or fractured bones include:

  • Arm Fractures: A common injury in road accidents or falls.
  • Leg Fractures: Often caused by slips, trips, falls, or traffic accidents.
  • Spinal Fractures: Severe injuries that may lead to long-term or permanent disability.
  • Hand and Wrist Fractures: Often seen in workplace accidents, sports injuries, or falls.
  • Collarbone Fractures: Common in both falls and road traffic accidents.

Each type of fracture has its own recovery time and treatment process, but they all come with physical and emotional challenges. If your fracture was caused by someone else’s fault, you have the right to seek compensation for your pain and suffering.

How to Make a Broken Bone Claim

If you’ve suffered a broken bone in an accident that wasn’t your fault, it’s important to seek legal advice as soon as possible. Here are the steps involved in claiming a broken or fractured bone:

1. Seek Medical Attention

Your health should always be the priority. Get medical attention immediately after an injury to assess the extent of the damage. A clear medical record will be essential for your claim.

2. Document the Incident

If the injury was caused by an accident, ensure the incident is properly documented. This may include filing a report with your employer, local authorities, or taking photographs of the accident scene.

3. Consult a Personal Injury Solicitor

Consulting with a solicitor specializing in personal injury law will help you understand your legal rights. At HPA Solicitors Ltd, we offer expert legal advice and will guide you through the process, from collecting evidence to submitting a claim.
