Serious Bone Fracture Claims Solicitors

A serious bone fracture can have a significant impact on your health, mobility, employment and everyday life. While many fractures heal with time, more severe injuries can require surgery, lengthy rehabilitation and ongoing medical treatment. In some cases, individuals are left with permanent symptoms, chronic pain or long-term disability.

Serious fractures often occur suddenly and without warning, leaving victims facing months or even years of recovery. The physical, emotional and financial consequences can be substantial, particularly where the injury affects your ability to work or maintain your usual lifestyle.

At Bridge McFarland LLP, our specialist serious injury solicitors help individuals secure compensation following serious fractures caused by road traffic accidents, workplace accidents, agricultural incidents and accidents in public places.

What Is a Serious Bone Fracture?

A fracture occurs when a bone breaks due to trauma or excessive force.

While some fractures heal relatively quickly, serious fractures can involve:

• Multiple breaks
• Displaced fractures
• Open fractures
• Crush injuries
• Joint damage
• Nerve injuries
• Complications requiring surgery

Serious fractures often require extensive treatment and rehabilitation before a person can return to work or normal daily activities.

Common Causes of Serious Fracture Injuries

We regularly assist clients who have suffered fractures as a result of:

Road Traffic Accidents

Car accidents, motorcycle accidents, bicycle accidents and pedestrian accidents frequently result in broken bones and orthopaedic injuries.

Accidents at Work

Falls, machinery accidents, manual handling incidents and construction site accidents can all cause serious fractures.

Falls from Height

Falls from ladders, scaffolding, roofs and other elevated positions often result in complex fracture injuries.

Agricultural Accidents

Farm machinery, livestock incidents and vehicle accidents can cause severe orthopaedic trauma.

Slips, Trips and Falls

Accidents in public places, shops, supermarkets and workplaces commonly result in fractures, particularly among older adults.

Industrial and Construction Accidents

Heavy equipment, falling objects and crush injuries can lead to multiple fractures and long-term disability.

Types of Serious Fracture Claims

Our serious injury team regularly assists clients who have suffered:

Leg Fractures

Including:

• Femur fractures
• Tibia and fibula fractures
• Knee injuries involving fractures
• Multiple lower limb fractures

These injuries often require surgery and lengthy rehabilitation.

Arm and Shoulder Fractures

Including:

• Humerus fractures
• Elbow fractures
• Forearm fractures
• Shoulder fractures

Such injuries can significantly affect a person’s ability to work and perform everyday tasks.

Pelvic Fractures

Pelvic injuries can be particularly serious and often require extensive treatment and rehabilitation.

Hip Fractures

Hip fractures can have a profound impact on mobility and independence, particularly for older individuals.

Rib and Chest Fractures

These injuries can be extremely painful and may be associated with damage to internal organs.

Complex and Multiple Fractures

Some accidents result in multiple broken bones requiring surgical intervention and prolonged recovery.

Complications Following Serious Fractures

Not all fractures heal without problems.

Some individuals experience:

• Chronic pain
• Reduced mobility
• Joint stiffness
• Nerve damage
• Arthritis
• Muscle weakness
• Ongoing disability
• Psychological trauma

Where complications arise, they should be fully reflected within any compensation claim.

Surgery and Rehabilitation

Many serious fractures require surgical treatment.

This may include:

• Internal fixation using plates and screws
• Rods and pins
• Joint reconstruction
• Bone grafting procedures

Recovery often involves:

• Physiotherapy
• Occupational therapy
• Pain management treatment
• Mobility support
• Ongoing medical monitoring

The cost and impact of rehabilitation should form an important part of any serious injury claim.

Compensation for Serious Fracture Injuries

Compensation aims to reflect both the injury itself and the wider impact it has had on your life.

A successful claim may include:

Compensation for the Injury

Including:

• Pain and suffering
• Loss of amenity
• Physical disability
• Psychological impact

Financial Losses

Including:

• Loss of earnings
• Future loss of income
• Medical treatment expenses
• Rehabilitation costs
• Travel expenses

Future Losses and Support

Where symptoms continue long-term, compensation may also include:

• Ongoing treatment costs
• Future care needs
• Adaptations to daily living
• Reduced earning capacity

Every fracture claim is assessed individually to ensure the full impact of the injury is properly recognised.

Interim Payments

In serious injury cases, it may be possible to obtain interim payments before the claim is concluded.

These payments can help fund:

• Rehabilitation
• Medical treatment
• Loss of earnings
• Care and support
• Essential living expenses

Early financial support can be particularly important where a serious fracture prevents a return to work.

No Win No Fee Serious Fracture Claims

Many serious fracture claims can be funded through a Conditional Fee Agreement, commonly known as a No Win No Fee agreement.

This means:

• No upfront legal fees
• Access to specialist serious injury solicitors
• No legal fees to pay if your claim is unsuccessful, subject to the terms of the agreement

Our team will explain all available funding options during your initial consultation.
