We use specialist medical evidence together with our expertise to be able to judge how much the claim is worth, and we also use official guidelines. As such, the true value of your broken leg claim will be dependent on those things. The purpose of this article is for guidance only.<\/p>\n<p>The best thing to do is contact us \u2013 and if it\u2019s a serious broken leg injury, please <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorbikeinjurylawyers.co.uk\/serious-injury-team\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>contact our Serious Injury Claims Team <\/strong><\/a>as soon as you can!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Typical broken leg compensation claim amounts<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In terms of how much typical broken leg compensation claim amounts can be, we can take a look at the official guidelines for a rough idea.<\/p>\n<p>All these amounts are approximate and are based on the official guidelines we use. This could give you a rough idea about how much your broken leg claim may be worth:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Simple Fractures: up to \u00a312,000.00;<\/li>\n<li>Fractures with an incomplete recovery: up to \u00a325,000.00.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Broken leg injuries are common in motorbike accidents. It\u2019s important to also remember that you can claim Special Damages on top of the amounts above, which covers General Damages. Special Damages are for losses and expenses and can easily end up being way more than the General Damages amount. If you\u2019re off work for six months because you\u2019re a builder and you can\u2019t work with a broken leg, that\u2019s six months of lost earnings you could claim back on top of the above.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What about serious broken leg compensation claim amounts?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to how much the broken leg compensation claim amount can be for more serious amounts, we\u2019re potentially talking a great deal more.<\/p>\n<p>According to the guidance, for General Damages only:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Moderate: complicated or multiple fractures with long periods for recovery: up to \u00a335,000.00;<\/li>\n<li>Serious: compound or comminuted fractures where a prolonged period of recovery occurs: up to \u00a348,000.00;<\/li>\n<li>Very serious: Multiple fractures that take years to heal and may leave permeant problems: up to \u00a375,000.00;<\/li>\n<li>Severe: where fractures have not united and extensive bone grafting has been required: up to \u00a3120,000.00.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you think you may fit in any of those categories, please <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorbikeinjurylawyers.co.uk\/serious-injury-team\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>contact our Serious Injury Claims Team righty away<\/strong><\/a>.
