What Are Common Causes of Fractures?

Fractures, medically described as a broken or cracked bone, can be caused by a variety of incidents, in a wide range of settings. Whether it be through work injury, road traffic accident, or medical condition, fractures are pretty common. Some of the common causes of fracture include the following:

Road traffic accidents
Cycling accidents
Motorcycle accidents
Motor accidents as a pedestrian
Workplace accidents can range from a slip due to neglected space or an accident involving heavy equipment.

A fracture can be debilitating, no matter what walk of life you lead. From affecting your gait or range of movement to having an impact on sleep and interpersonal relationships, fractures can be tricky to deal with, but we’re here to help. Start your fracture injury claim today, and gain the compensation you deserve.
Contact us, and we will provide you with the support you need with your bone fracture claim.

What Are the Different Types of Fracture You Can Claim For?

Fractures can affect any bone in the body and can happen in a range of ways. The following are some examples of fracture types you could sustain from a personal injury:

Closed (or simple) fracture – where the bone is broken, but the skin barrier remains intact
Open (or compound) fracture – where the bone is broken and breaks the skin barrier, leaving the break open to possible infections
Stable fracture – where the bone breaks, but the broken ends of the bone still line up correctly
Transverse, oblique, or spiral fracture – the term used to describe the way the bone has broken
Comminuted fracture – where the bone has shattered into multiple pieces

These fractures can affect any area of the body, from simple finger fractures to the possibility of gaining compensation for a broken leg.

Am I Eligible to Make a Fracture Claim?

You may be eligible to make a fracture injury compensation claim if:

You were involved in an accident or event caused by someone else’s negligence or misconduct that resulted in a bone fracture.
You have been formally examined by a medical professional as a follow-up from your injury.
You have substantial evidence of the accident or event that resulted in your fracture.

I was quick to receive medical help including physio therapy. The 2 years my claim was going on Grace and the team provided a service that was outstanding, in a time that was extremely hard for me. I would recommend ASD highly and will be referring anyone who is needing their services.

Bone Fracture Claims Frequently Asked Questions

Read all FAQs

How much compensation could I receive for a broken leg claim?

The amount of compensation you could be owed for your broken leg varies depending on a few factors, including:

The severity of the injury and your following condition
The situation and environment in which your injury was sustained
The impact your injury has had on you long-term, including your ability to work
The amount of evidence you have collected to back your case, which includes statements from medical professionals

How long do I have to make a fracture claim?

There is no legal limit on the amount of time you have to make a bone fracture claim, however, it is generally considered that your case has a higher chance of success the less time that has passed since the initial injury event.

Can I make a claim if the broken bone accident happened at work?

Yes, if your bone fracture was caused by a workplace incident or unsafe working conditions, you can claim against your employer. Employers have a duty of care to ensure your safety and mental well-being while at work. Your job should also not be threatened for making a compensation claim, as the UK law protects workers from unfair dismissal for making compensation claims against their employer.

Can I make a claim if the broken bone happened in a car accident?

Yes, gaining compensation for a fracture sustained in a motor accident is very common. Explore making a car accident fracture claim with Accident Solicitors Direct today for hands-on support throughout your claim process.
