When a bone fractures or breaks, one of the broken ends can be driven into another, this is referred to as an impacted fracture. Impacted fractures can be extremely painful, causing both physical and mental suffering. If you have suffered an impacted fracture as the result of an accident that was not your fault you may be able to claim compensation.
When can I claim compensation for an impacted fracture?
Impacted fractures are very serious injuries. When a bone fragment is driven into another bone the result can be painful and can mean a long period of treatment and rehabilitation. Impacted fractures can also be emotionally stressful since you may need to take time off work to recover and incur a loss of earnings.
In order for your claim to be successful, you will need to be able to prove that your impacted fracture occurred as the result of the negligence of another party. Many car accidents or slips and trips at work can be proven as the fault of other parties and if this is the case, it is important to be aware of your legal options before you make a claim.
