Leg Injury Compensation Amounts
Below are some examples of the compensation you could expect to receive for different types of claims.
Minor leg injuries
If you have suffered a simple fracture, a soft tissue injury, sprain, muscular damage, or even a clean break or fracture to the tibia or fibula bones with no on-going symptoms, you could be entitled to up to £6,000 compensation.
Minor injury to your upper leg
If you have suffered a clean break or fracture to the femur bone in your upper leg which heals quickly with no on-going symptoms, you could expect to receive between the region of £6,000 – £9,200 compensation.
Multiple Fracture Injuries
The level of compensation that can be claimed for multiple fracture injuries will be influenced by the amount of time you have been off work; the presence of risk of degenerative changes; imperfect union of fractures, muscle wasting; limited joint movements; instability in the knee; permanent scarring, or permanently increased vulnerability for future damage. If you suffer from any of these, you could be entitled to £18,250 – £27,750 compensation.

We have settled many severe cases for claimants who have suffered serious injuries to joints or ligaments resulting in instability; prolonged treatment; a lengthy period of non-weight bearing; the near certainty that arthritis will ensue; injuries involving the hip requiring arthrodesis or hip replacement; and extensive scarring. Compensation in the region of ?27,750 to ?36,000 is the level you could expect if you suffer any of the same symptoms listed.
