Broken bones
Broken bones are much more common than people might think. Even small falls can cause broken bones. If you have a broken bone and it was caused by someone else, then you may be entitled to claim compensation.
What is a broken bone?
A simple fractured or broken bone is when a bone breaks but the bone does not pierce the skin, whereas a compound or open fractured or broken bone is a broken bone where the bone does pierce the skin and is therefore visible and is consequently open to infection. Serious fractures such as these, and particularly those that affect joints, can also lead to osteoarthritis.
If you are suffering any of the following symptoms then you could have a broken bone and could therefore be entitled to compensation:
Symptoms of potential bone breakages:
- pain and swelling.
- bruising or discoloured skin around the bone or joint.
- the limb or part of the body being bent at an unusual angle.
- being unable to move or put weight on the injured limb.
- a grinding or grating sensation or sound in the bone or joint.
If this sounds familiar, give us a call to talk to one of our lawyers to disucss the possibility of filing a compensation claim.
