Anyone who has sustained an injury affecting their hip in the last three years may be in a position to make a compensation claim for the pain and suffering they have endured as a result. Damages for personal injury are always assessed on the individual facts of the case and on how badly the injury has affected the Claimants life in general including their working life.

The Main causes of Hip Injury Claims are:

Accidents at work – Slips, trips or falls on work premises or in the course of employment.

Building site claims - Accidents on construction sites.

Highway claims - Slips, trips and falls on public roads or foot paths.

Accidents in shops – Slips, trips and falls in shops or licensed premises.

Sports injuries – Injuries sustained whilst playing organised sports.

Types of Hip Injury Claim

Fractured Hip Compensation Claims

More usually known as a broken hip. These range from serious displaced fractures requiring surgical intervention to less serious hairline breaks. Generally these are treated with a plaster cast and back slab. Recovery can take between six to twelve weeks and it is possible that the individual may be left with some residual disability.

Sprained Hip Compensation Claims

Commonly known as soft tissue or ligament injuries. As with all injuries the symptoms vary from person to person and damages will be assessed individually depending on any residual symptoms that may exist.
