Any facial injury can be devastating both in the long and short term. Whilst sometimes seen as unusual, broken cheek bone injuries can lead to real problems, and it takes a qualified personal injury lawyer to know how best to fight for the maximum payout possible.
We’ll take a look at the guidelines for valuations and what you can claim for as well.
The Official Guidelines
The official guidelines we use to value cheek bone fracture claims say you can claim up to as much as £11,000 at the top end of the scale, but this is reserved for serious fractures requiring surgery and potentially long term problems. Simple fractures where no surgery is required can attract awards of around £2,000, and if surgery is needed, but a full recovery can be made, you can look at payouts of up to £4,500.
BUT – it doesn’t end there! There is a lot more to take in to account with such injuries, so you could be entitled to a lot more. The above is based on just the valuations for the injury alone, but you can claim for a whole host of other complications that cheek bone fractures can lead to as well.
Losses and Expenses
An injury like this could easily keep you off work – especially if you do a lot of talking as part of your role, or general interaction with the public. If you need to take a few weeks off work and you are either not paid in full or not paid at all, we can recover lost earnings for whatever the sum is you have lost.
You may find you need help from friends and family as well, which can allow you to make a claim for care and assistance – normally paid on an hourly rate for the carer. Any medical or travel expenses can be included too.
Scarring
If you do need an operation, you may be left with unsightly scarring on your face which, of course, can be horrendous. If there is an element of disfigurement we can include this as well. Some people are not too fussy when it comes to scars, but I think most people would be upset when it comes to facial scars. The face is, after all, such a prominent part of our bodies.
How do I get MORE compensation?
The best way to maximise what you are entitled to receive is simple – instruct an expert personal injury law firm like us who only deal with claims for injury for a wealth of experience and knowhow in fighting for higher payouts. Non specialist solicitors may not be as good at getting the better payouts, so it can seriously pay to get an expert.
In many circumstances we do not charge 25% like other law firms do, so you can save a huge amount of money in instructing our services for the claim.
