Elbow Injury Compensation Claims

Whether you’ve suffered an accident or have a long-term injury, elbow injuries can seriously impede your mobility and day-to-day activities. Our solicitors understand the difficulties that an elbow injury can cause, which is why we strive to get you compensation and guide you through the rehabilitation process.

How To Make An Elbow Injury Claim

Call us on 0800 056 4110 to arrange a free initial consultation with our personal injury specialists. We’ll discuss how your injury happened, who you believe is at fault, and how it’s affected your life. We’ll assess your claim, and if we think you’re eligible, we’ll make the first steps towards securing your settlement.

If we think you have a claim, we’ll approach the person or organisation you believe is at fault. If they accept responsibility, we’ll negotiate a compensation settlement for you that takes into account your pain, suffering and the impact on your life.

If we think you have a claim but the other party doesn’t admit responsibility, we’ll still fight for compensation for you – all the way to court if necessary.

We’ll help you claim for injuries such as:

Breaks and fractures
Bursitis
Tennis elbow
Repetitive strain injury
Ulnar neuropathy and cubital tunnel syndrome
Ligament damage
Muscular strains and tears
Work-related osteoarthritis.

We can help you claim compensation for your pain and suffering, and if needed, help you access rehabilitation.

How Long Do You Have To Make An Elbow Injury Claim?

The standard cut-off point for elbow injury claims is three years after the date of the injury, or the date that you realised your injury was caused by work (for example, if your doctor diagnosed repetitive strain injuries). In certain cases, these limits can be extended. We’ll discuss these with you during your free initial consultation.

No matter how your elbow injury took place, you should contact us as soon as possible. Contacting us early makes it easier for us to gather evidence and gives your claim the best chance of success.

How Much Compensation Can I Claim For An Elbow Injury?

There are no pre-determined compensation amounts for elbow injuries as every case is different. For example, broken elbow compensation settlements should be higher than a strain. Our personal injury specialists will assess your claim based on following:

The severity of your injury
How it’s affected your life
Loss of earnings
Whether or not you’ll need extra support.

Where applicable, we can also arrange interim compensation payments for ongoing treatment.

No Win No Fee Elbow Injury Claims

Most of our elbow injury claims are ‘no win, no fee’. This means that yours and your opponent’s legal fees are covered if you’re unsuccessful*. If you’re successful, your opponent will pay the majority of your legal costs. Any costs not paid by your opponent will be deducted from the compensation you receive.

Why Choose Us?

We are leading personal injury specialists who can process your elbow injury claims sensitively and efficiently. Our friendly teams understand the long-term effects an elbow injury can have, from changes in job roles to stopping your day-to-day hobbies.

We have offices up and down the country with client liaison teams who can, where needed, provide you with added support such as rehabilitation. We may also be able to help you access interim payments, allowing you to cover costs such as private medical treatment while your claim is ongoing.

Elbow Injury Compensation Claims - More Information

- What If I Don't qualify for no win no fee?
- If your case doesn’t meet the no win, no fee criteria, there may be other options available to you.
  
  You may have Legal Expenses Insurance on your home insurance policy, for example, or you may be a member of a trade union which covers legal expenses. We’ll discuss the best options for you during your initial consultation.
- Who Will pay my compensation?
- If you’re claiming against an employer, for example, if your job caused a repetitive strain injury, your claim will most likely be settled by your employer’s insurance. Similarly, insurers will pay out for road traffic incidents or injuries that happened in public as a result of poor safety standards
  
  For criminal assault claims, the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) will pay out if the person who assaulted you doesn’t have the means to pay.
- What is the criminal injuries compensation authority (CICA)?
- The CICA is an executive agency which is sponsored by the Ministry of Justice to handle compensation claims for victims of violent crimes. The CICA pays out compensation for those who’ve been physically or mentally affected by a criminal assault. We process criminal claims through the CICA on your behalf. Read more about CICA and how we can help.
- Are there exceptions to the three-year time limit?
- Adults can make claims for children up until their 18th birthday. If they reach 18 and a claim hasn’t been made for them, they can make their own claim up until their 21st birthday.
  
  There’s no time limit to make claims on behalf of people who lack the mental capacity to make a claim themselves.
  
  If your claim relates to a criminal assault, generally the limit is two years. However, this can be extended in some circumstances, for example if you were too ill to claim.
  
  If you were injured by a faulty product, you’ll have 10 years from the product launch date to make a claim.
  
  Finally, if the injury happened abroad, the time limit may be shorter. We can advise you on specific regions.
  
  Regardless of the circumstances of your injury, get in touch with us as soon as possible. The earlier you contact us, the easier it is for us to gather evidence to support your claim.
- What are interim compensation payments?
- Where applicable, interim compensation payments cover ongoing costs while you recover from your elbow injury, for example, travel expenses to and from hospital. These funds are awarded before your final settlement and will be deducted from your final compensation amount. We’ll let you know if we think you will benefit from interim compensation payments.
- what if my opponent doesn't accept responsibility?
- We always try to negotiate an out-of-court settlement for you as this is generally less stressful for all parties, particularly during difficult recovery periods. If your opponent denies responsibility or disagrees with the proposed settlement, we’ll begin court proceedings.
  
  Often, even when trial dates have been set, claims are settled before reaching court. If it does go to court, we’ll guide you through every step.

If I did not understand anything, I would just ask him to explain things and he would explain it all to me.”
