Even the simplest of leg injuries can result in a great deal of pain and discomfort. Non fracture injuries can still be enough to cause a significant degree of disability as most leg injuries can have a real big impact on your everyday life.
Working, socialising, and even getting about the house can be made far more difficult – so read on for some advice about what you should do and how much you can claim for.
When you make a claim for personal injury compensation you are entitled to claim for the pain, suffering, loss of amenity, and personal loss in costs and expenses. Generally speaking the rule is that – the more you suffer, the more we get for you.
If the leg injury has resulted in the need for crutches or a period of non-weight bearing then we can take this in to account. If it has stopped you from playing sports, going to the gym, or partaking in other hobbies and activities we can take that in to account as well. If you suffer actual financial loss through being off work and only receiving sick pay, we can claim back the difference.
Any aspect of suffering that has been caused should be addressed and we use expert medical evidence to show the extent of this loss. We calculate your losses and expenses based on evidence to show how much you have paid out for and / or lost as a result of the accident and injuries.
If you have suffered a leg injury through no fault of your own you should contact us to see if we can help you make a claim for personal injury compensation. If you believe that you may have been the victim of negligence we might be able to assist you.
How much is my leg injury claim worth?
We value claims on a case by case basis and its all dependent on evidence like the medical reports mentioned above, but using the official guidelines that a solicitor uses to assist in valuing claims, we can give you somewhat of an idea as to what you may be looking at receiving:
- Modest injuries recovered in a few months: up to £2,000
- Soft tissue injuries and very simple healing fractures: up to £6,500
- Simple femur fractures: £6,500 – £10,000
More serious cases can have payouts for the injury alone of up to £100,000 – if you want more advice on this sort of injury then please call our advice line 0800 634 7575 today.
