A broken leg can be a devastating injury to suffer from, and the impact it can have in both the short term and long term on a victim’s life can be significant. I seriously injured my knee back in 2012 so I’m all too familiar with the affects of a serious leg injury and the extent that an injury can affect you.

So if you are the unfortunate victim of an accident and you want to make a claim for personal injury compensation, what can you claim for when it comes to a broken leg?

Most Whiplash claims originate from Road Traffic Accidents. The impact of a vehicle crashing in to you can cause your body to jolt suddenly and result in injury. Whiplash includes many common yet painful injuries which range from back / neck / shoulder pain to headaches and dizziness. Your injuries could even be more permanent resulting in you having to wear a neck brace for a substantial period of time.

Sometimes a severe cut which leads to scarring may not be all that physically painful for a long time, but could be undesirable given that you may end up with a large and noticeable scar. Normally when it comes to making a claim for personal injury compensation, you’re entitled to money to reflect the severity and length of your suffering.

So if the cut itself only hurt for a few days, what about the fact you are left with a huge scar? Can this be claimed for?

In short the answer is “yes, you can claim compensation for minor injuries.”

Unfortunately in law it is never quite so simple. By that I mean that different law firms may have different criteria that need to be met for that law firm to take your case forward. In theory you can claim compensation for very minor injuries; however if your pain and suffering only lasted for a day or a week, or in any event less than a month, then the value of your claim could be less than £1,000. This ultimately may mean that a law firm cannot act for you in your case as a law firm may not be able to recover legal fees if the claim is worth less than £1,000. This is the reason why a firm may not take such a case forward. However this does not necessarily mean that you cannot claim; you may have a small claim which you can bring yourself, for example.

Not only is it extremely embarrassing, but the injuries that you can end up with if you sit on a chair or a stool and it simply collapses beneath you can be serious. If this happens in a public place like a shopping centre, supermarket, cafe, restaurant, bar, or pub (to name a few), you may be able to make a claim for personal injury compensation.

What we need to do is get to the bottom as to exactly how and why this has happened.

There can be many hurdles when pursuing a claim for personal injury compensation – the limitation to claim is normally one of them. But victims of gynaecologist Robert Jones known as “The Butcher” who is said to have mistreated thousands of patients at the Royal Cornwall Hospital (RCH – also known as Treliske Hospital) may now be able to access the justice they deserve (Source).

An agreement has been reached with the RCH to lift the three year limitation period which should allow victims that could date back to as early as 1992 to now be in a position to make a claim for personal injury compensation. The agreed protocol is said to be a step in the right direction for helping the victims of medical negligence claims currently being made against the RCH.

It’s an easy thing to happen – especially after a stressful shopping trip or if visibility isn’t too great. But if you are correctly driving along or you are stationary and another vehicle reverses in to you from a parked space and hits you, what are your rights for making a claim for personal injury compensation?

Normally the other driver will be held fully liable for the accident by failing to keep a proper lookout when reversing. It’s similar to a driver pulling out of a junction in to a correctly proceeding car. The duty is primarily on the driver coming out of the space and in to the traffic way to manoeuvre slowly and with great care – constantly checking for pedestrians and vehicles.
