What are the time limits when making a broken bone or fracture claim?

While the general window is three years from the injury date or the moment you became aware of it, timelines can vary. It’s crucial to consult our solicitors promptly to ensure you don’t miss any deadlines.

Exceptions to the three-year time limit include:

  • Minors: For individuals under 18, the three-year time frame typically begins once they turn 18, unless a parent or guardian makes a claim on their behalf earlier.
  • Lack of mental capacity: If a person lacks the mental capacity to make a claim, there is no time limit, unless capacity is regained.
  • Criminal injuries: If the broken bone or fracture resulted from a criminal act, different timelines and procedures might apply.

Considering the complexities, it’s key to consult with our solicitors without delay. This ensures you make the most of the available time and don’t miss any critical deadlines.

How much compensation could I get after a broken bone or fracture claim?

The compensation received after a broken bone or fracture claim is based on several factors including the severity of the injury, its long-term implications, and any accompanying emotional or psychological trauma. It’s vital to understand that each claim is unique, and the compensation reflects the specific circumstances and repercussions of the injury.

Can I make a no win, no fee claim after a broken bone or fracture?

Yes. Your broken bone or fracture injury claim can be funded through various methods, including a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), commonly known as a “No Win, No Fee” arrangement. With a CFA, you won’t pay any legal fees upfront, and you’ll only be charged any applicable fees if your claim is successful.

Other funding options might include legal expense insurance, trade union funding, or private funding, depending on your individual circumstances. It’s essential to discuss your funding options with your solicitor to determine the best approach tailored to your situation.
