Injury Types For Compensation Claims

Injury compensation types

Suffering from an injury that isn’t your fault can be highly traumatic, and could have consequences for the rest of your life. It’s only right that you receive appropriate compensation to help you move forward. We have the expertise to assist with injury compensation claims, ranging from injuries that will heal to those that cause permanent disability.

Life-changing injuries

A back or spinal injury can have life-changing consequences, severely impacting both your work and home life. You can receive up to £10,000 for a minor injury but could receive up to £140,000 for the most severe types of disabling injuries.

Similarly, facial injuries can be physically and emotionally traumatic. We can support you in getting the right level of compensation, which could be as much as £85,000.

Arm and hand injuries

Injuries to your arm, hands, or shoulder can have an impact on your mobility. The most severe cases could result in arm, hand, or finger amputation.

Porter Wood Law can ensure you get the right level of compensation. This can be up to £260,000 for the most serious arm injuries. Even for minor injuries that will eventually heal, you could still be entitled to thousands of pounds.

Leg and foot injuries

An injury to your leg, foot, or hip can be debilitating and have serious consequences. The most severe cases could lead to amputation or permanent disability. If any part of your leg is amputated, you could be entitled to up to £245,000.

For an injury to your hip or pelvis, you may be entitled to up to £35,000 for a moderate injury or £115,000 for the most serious cases. Additionally, you may be able to claim for medical expenses and lost earnings. Our experts can guide you to getting the right compensation for your circumstances.

Broken bones and fractures

Broken bones can be painful and may take a long time to heal. This could impact your ability to work and your mobility. If you have suffered a broken bone resulting from an accident at work or a public place, or if your child has had an accident at school, we can help you to obtain appropriate compensation.

Depending on the severity and location of the fracture, you could be due thousands of pounds. For a simple leg fracture, you could receive up to £21,100.

Burns, scars, and lacerations

Burns, scars, and lacerations can be debilitating and painful. They may permanently affect your appearance, causing both physical and emotional distress. These types of injuries may be caused by electrical equipment or machinery, as well as hair and beauty treatments.

The most severe burns-related injuries could mean you’re entitled to up to £64,000. Scarring can be a result of many types of injuries, and severity varies greatly. If you’ve suffered an injury that’s left you with scarring you could be entitled to at least £1,500.

Regardless of the type of injury you’ve experienced, Porter Wood Law can support you in making a compensation claim that helps you to move on. If you’ve had an injury that wasn’t your fault, contact us now for a free consultation.
