What is a hip injury compensation claim?
If your hips are injured in an accident, a criminal act of violence or through some form of medical negligence – you will likely be able to make a hip injury compensation claim for the pain and suffering you experience and financial expenses you incur.
Your hips is the name given to the bony structure known as the pelvis or pelvic girdle. The pelvic girdle allows your legs to join to the bony structure of your upper body.
Ball And Socket Joint
Your hips contain a ball and socket joint, which is vital to allow the free movement of your legs.
Therefore – the hips are considered a very important bone structure of your body.
Consequently, injury to your hips can lead to significant mobility issues and resultant pain and suffering.
What are the most common types of pelvic injury claims?
Your hip can be broken, fractured or injured in many types of accident, but some of the most common include:
Motor vehicle collisions
If you are involved in high impact collisions – significant injuries can occur, including broken hip injuries.
Typical types of road collisions that can cause pelvis injury, include:
- Car collisions with large vehicles. For example – a truck, coach or bus.
- Motor vehicles hitting immovable objects. For example – a car collision with a motorway crash barrier
- Head on car crashes. For example – a car swerving to the wrong side of the road on a bend of a country road – hitting the oncoming vehicle.
- Motor bike accidents. Due to the relatively unprotected nature of a motorcyclist – a collision involving a motorcycle can cause many different significant injuries. For example – head injuries, broken limbs and shattered hips.
Work accident claims
Many work accidents can cause your hip injury. For example:
- Falling objects. For example – heavy materials falling from a shelf.
- Work at height accidents. For example – imagine a scaffolder or a worker on a ladder who falls – shattered fractured hips are often caused.
- Large machinery accidents. For example – a worker whose leg is pulled into a work machine (due to an insufficient safety guard).
Claim Against Your Employer
A hip injury compensation claim can be made against your employer when your injury occurs at work. Your employer must have liability insurance to pay out should your claim succeed.
However, to succeed with a claim – you must prove that your pelvic injury is due to the legal fault of your employer.
Slip and trip accidents
The older you are the more prone to serious injury from a slip or trip. Regretfully – broken, fractured and shattered hips are all too common in a slip, trip and fall type of accident.
Liability For Pavement Trips And Slips In Shops
The circumstances of your trip, slip or fall accident will determine who you can claim against.
For example – should you suffer a broken hip from a trip on a defect with a pavement or road then it is quite likely that either the council or highway authority will be responsible to meet your claim.
Alternatively, if you fracture your pelvis due to a slip on a wet floor in a shop or supermarket then your hip injury compensation claim would be made against the shop owner. Remember – generally shops will have public liability insurance to meet your claim.
How does your solicitor know how much compensation to claim for your injury?
The nature of the hip injury compensation generally falls in to two distinct parts.
Calculation for one part is based on evidence you supply coupled with a little bit of maths performed by your solicitor. Whereas calculation for the other part is based on caselaw and judicial guidance.
Pain and suffering caused by your pelvic injury
Your solicitor will obtain a consultant medical report describing the injuries you have suffered and very importantly what the future holds for ongoing treatment, symptoms, rehabilitation and disability.
Your solicitor will thereafter find case law for accidents with similar injuries and refer to the compensation settlements made by the courts. With some adjustments for inflation – your solicitor will know how much to claim for your particular hip injury.
Financial losses and expenses you experience as a result of pelvis injuries
You are entitled to claim for financial losses and expenses in your compensation settlement, including: lost income, medical expenses, travel expenses to your hospital and GP, nursing care (even performed by family and friends), rehabilitation devices and many other expenses.
You should keep a note of all the expenses you incur coupled with supporting receipts. Thereafter, your lawyer will use these to produce a schedule of all these losses. If these losses are likely to include future income and rehabilitation expenses – your solicitor will likely obtain an accountant report setting out your projected losses into the future.
Average hip injury compensation claim calculator for pain and suffering?
The calculation of how much compensation you can claim will depend on the nature of your hip injury.
Minor hip injury average payouts
Soft tissue hip injury (does not involve a fracture or broken bone) from which you have recovered completely with no ongoing symptoms. You can claim average payout sums of up to £4,900
Significant soft tissue injury
Should your soft tissue injury (including ligament injury) be classed as significant. Symptoms lasting up to 3 years. Your hip injury compensation payout will be calculated between £4,900 – £7,500
Broken / fractured hip with no ongoing symptoms settlements
Both a broken or fractured pelvis for which you have had a full recovery within two years. Although you may have no ongoing symptoms of pain – you may have some limited disability.
This type of broken or fractured hip will result in a pelvic compensation settlement calculated between £7,500 – £15,500
Serious pelvic injury requiring hip replacement surgery
Serious hip injuries not only requiring a hip replacement or some other hip surgery, but also leaving minor ongoing disability. IN addition – there may exists a possible risk of further hip replacement surgery. The compensation you can expect for successful hip replacement surgery will be calculated between £15,500 – £48,000
Fractures requiring an osteotomy and hip replacement revisional surgery
Certain types of hip fracture involving the acetabulum (a curved part of the pelvis meeting the head of the femur to from the hip socket) can require corrective surgery (osteotomy). This surgery involves cutting and reshaping the pelvis or femur or both – to realign them and allow hip joint to operate correctly.
Alternatively – fractures may require hip replacement surgery that are only partially successful and will require revisional surgery in the future. Revisional surgery will generally include the removal of implants, corrective work and the reinsertion of new implants.
In the case of this more severe type of broken hip / multiple fracture pelvic injury claim – you can expect a compensation payout between £48,000 – £96,000
Most severe hip injury claim payouts
The most serious types of pelvic injury will involve multiple hip fractures resulting in significant disability. In addition – you may need an operation to fuse your spine to your hip (spinal fusion). Alternatively – you may have both a ruptured bladder and suffer constant severe pain.
The most severe pelvic injuries give rise to the largest hip injury compensation payouts of between £96,000 – £160,000
