Fractures At Work Claims  

Expertise And Understanding From Irwin Mitchell

Fractured bones can occur as a result of slips, trips, being struck by falling objects and a variety of other accidents in the workplace. As a worker, you have a right to expect your employer to provide adequate protection from risks arising from your job. When that protection is not provided and an injury involving a fracture is the result, you could make a claim for compensation.

At Irwin Mitchell we fight fearlessly to achieve the best outcome for you whether your fracture injury is minor or major.  We’re renowned for our understanding of the issues affecting you and your family due to a fracture injury at work, and we know what positive action to take to make a difference.

Our lawyers offer the highest level of professionalism and expertise, combined with dedication and sensitivity.

Above all, we put you first.

Handling Fracture Injuries At Work With Expertise And Sensitivity

Our team of specialist solicitors can investigate your fracture claim and help you to claim the compensation you deserve.

Broken bone injuries can happen in any line of work - but often they result from a worker:

  • Falling
  • Being hit by a falling item
  • Crush injuries/Making contact with machinery

Fractures can range in severity from hairline fractures (where the bone is only partially fractured) to simple fractures (broadly, a single crack across the shaft of a bone) to compound or open fractures (where the broken end of a bone is protruding through the skin). We have successfully claimed fracture injury compensation for clients with each of these types of fracture.

Even if you think the injury was your fault, your employer at the time may still be held responsible so it’s important that you seek advice following your injury.

Proven Expertise In Fracture Injuries At Work

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

We will also consider any ongoing problems you may suffer as a result of your fracture injury. Some people suffer from long-term aches or sensitivity to the cold, or possible early development of arthritis in the affected area.

It is important to have a solicitor that considers the whole picture including the potential future effects of your injury, any treatment that may be necessary in the future and whether your injury is likely to have an impact on your ability to work now or in the future.

£1.2m Spinal Injury Case

£1.2m Spinal Injury Case

Our specialist spinal injury team in Sheffield assisted a former warehouse operative in securing a £1.2m damages settlement following an accident in 2005 at his place of work, which lead to him suffering incomplete paraplegia. Barry, 60, was left with severely reduced mobility when a lift-truck which he was operating at his place of work in Boston plummeted to the ground, fracturing his spine.

The Sheffield team secured an early admission of liability from his employer and a substantial interim payment enabling Barry and his wife to move into a fully adapted new bungalow within 18 months of the accident.

Neil Whiteley, who represented Barry along with his colleague Rachael Aram, stated "by bringing in our client liaison team at an early stage, and later a specialist spinal injury case manager, we were able to assist Barry and his wife through what was undoubtedly a very difficult time, just when they were beginning to look forward towards their retirement. Both have done fantastically well, and it has been a pleasure to work for Barry to achieve this result".
