With little use of an arm when an elbow is either incapacitated or is in continual pain, it can lead to a lot of time off work and a lot of pain and aggravation.<\/p>\n<p>So let&#8217;s look at what you can claim for when it comes to compensation for an elbow injury as well some rough payout guidelines too.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>What you can claim for<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In most cases you claim General Damages for the pain, suffering, and loss of amenity caused and Special Damages for losses and expenses. The value of your claim can therefore depend on the length and severity of your suffering as well as the amount of losses and expenses.<\/p>\n<p>So we can look at things such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The level and length of pain caused<\/li>\n<li>The extent of any disability caused<\/li>\n<li>Whether you need any operations<\/li>\n<li>Whether you need any treatment or physiotherapy<\/li>\n<li>Whether you lost any earnings as a result of time off work<\/li>\n<li>Whether you have had to pay for medication or other treatment expenses<\/li>\n<li>Whether you need any care and assistance from friends and family<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>How much can I claim for?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is all dependent on the severity of the suffering. Generally speaking, the more you suffer, the more we get for you.<\/p>\n<p>We need to send you to see a medico-legal expert who will produce a report that we then use to value the claim in line with official guidelines and by using our specialist legal knowledge and experience.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that the value of your claim can depend on the quality of your lawyer! So get a good one!<\/p>\n<p>Most elbow injuries fit within the minor and modest category where payouts can range between the following brackets:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Injuries fully resolving after about one year &#8211; up to \u00a32,500<\/li>\n<li>Injuries with the majority of symptoms resolving within 18 to 24 months but with nuisance level symptoms persisting &#8211; up to \u00a34,500<\/li>\n<li>Injuries recovering after three years with nuisance symptoms thereafter and\/ or requiring surgery &#8211; up to \u00a39,000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Turning now to the more serious injuries:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Injuries causing impairment of function but not involving major surgery or significant disabilities &#8211; \u00a311,200 to \u00a322,900<\/li>\n<li>A Severely Disabling Injury &#8211; \u00a328,000 to \u00a339,150<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elbow injuries can of course be very debilitating.
