Bone Fracture Compensation Claim Lawyers - Canada
Our personal injury lawyers deal with bone fracture compensation claims in a court of law over and above the capped and limited amounts that are available from the no fault motor accident scheme and the no fault workers compensation scheme. Our bone fracture compensation claims are totally risk free, we don’t ask you to fund or finance your claim upfront and we don't get paid until you get paid.
Vehicle Collisions & Work Accidents
Most fracture compensation claims arise out of motor vehicle collisions and accidents at work with falls from height being particularly in evidence. Fractures can be either closed in which case the skin is not broken or open where the skin is pierced by the broken bone making infection more likely. In general terms open fractures are usually the more serious due to higher risk and attract higher levels of compensation awards. The healing of broken bones may be slow with immobilisation often being necessary for many months thereby compounding financial losses making for some very substantial fracture compensation claims.
Negligence
Our fracture compensation claim lawyers deal with all types of serious bone injuries from broken legs and arms right through to spinal column and vertebrae fractures resulting in paralysis. We deal with both multiple fractures and catastrophic injuries involving damage to other organs. In all cases it is necessary to prove negligence against a third party which in its simplest terms means failure to use reasonable care :-
“Negligence is the omission to do something
which a reasonable man, guided upon those
considerations which ordinarily regulate the
conduct of human affairs, would do, or doing
something which a prudent and reasonable man
would not do.”
Even if you were partly to blame for the accident that caused the injury you can still make a fracture compensation claim on the basis of ‘contributory negligence’ whereby the damages award will be reduced to take into account your own lack of care.
Compensation
The amount of the financial award in a bone fracture compensation claim is dependent on the extent of the injury, the recovery period and whether or not there are any long term disabilities or financial consequences. Damages awards usually cover all reasonably incurred losses plus an assessment for pain & suffering and loss of lifestyle together with a component to cover the cost of care. Items that are assessed are dealt with by a judge based on similar previously decided cases, after applying previous experience gained as a practising personal injury lawyer.
Legal Charges
Our personal injury lawyers do not charge any up-front fees – our legal costs are payable only when you receive your award of compensation. We don’t get paid until you get paid. We make your bone fracture compensation claim risk free, leaving you to concentrate on your recovery, while we get you the damages that you rightfully deserve.
