Fracture Compensation Claims

Back to Accident at Work Claims

Fractures are broken bones but there are many different types and bones can fracture in a number of different ways:
Bones can fracture in a number of different ways:

• A closed or simple fracture is where the bone is broken but the skin is not lacerated.
• An open or compound fracture is where the skin may be pierced by the bone or by a blow that breaks the skin at the time of fracture. This type of fracture is more serious because once the skin is broken it leaves the wound and bone open to infection.

The repair of a fracture is a gradual process and generally requires the bone to be immobilised for several weeks. Once mobilised again it is important to build up strength in the healing bone through movement, exercise and physiotherapy.

Unfortunately fractures can take a substantial amount of time to fully heal. Therefore if your fracture injuries were due to an accident or incident where you were not at fault, you can make a personal injury claim. If you were involved in a roadside accident, sporting accident or any accident where someone else was responsible, you can seek compensation against them.
