Broken Bones/Fractures at Work - Compensation Claims

Claim compensation for fractures and/or broken bones at work

Broken or fractured hips, legs, arms and hands are injuries commonly caused by accidents at work. They may result from falls or from contact with machinery or equipment.

Irwin Mitchell have a proven track record in dealing with cases involving clients who sustained fractures and broken limbs/bones as a result of injury in the workplace. We have dealt with cases involving broken ankles, fingers, arms, hands, hips, legs, ribs and toes in the workplace.

A claim was successfully pursued for a roofer who suffered a fall injury at work due to materials left on the scaffolding sustaining a broken ankle. He recovered £8,220 in compensation.

Damages of £75,000 were recovered for a pipe fitter and welder when he fell from ladders whilst at work. He suffered a severely broken leg and required 6 operations from skin grafts, the fitting of a fixator and an operation to prevent ankle fusion.
