Accidents that can cause hip injuries:

• Car crashes involving larger vehicles that have the potential to cause more severe injuries due to their size
• Victims involved in motorbike accidents can often suffer more serious accidents such as hip injuries as they do not have the same protection as a car
• Slipping or tripping accidents often result in hip and pelvis injuries and unfortunately the older you are the more likely you are to sustain a more serious hip injury

Common hip and pelvis injuries can include fractures, dislocation, damage to the tendons, ligament and muscles, in some cases leading to arthritis of the hip. The most serious of injuries to the pelvis and hip can be as devastating as a leg amputation and accordingly will attract a similar award of damages. Such cases apart, the upper limit for these injuries will generally be in the region of £42,000.

Hip injury compensation amounts:

• Minor injuries to the hip and pelvis including fractures which result in no permanent disablement: up to £25,750 hip injury compensation.
• More severe injuries needing hip replacements: up to £86,000 hip injury compensation.

Compensation for hip injury claims can also be awarded for loss of earnings, both past and future if the injury is serious enough to prevent the injured party working again and for associated losses such as medication, and treatments like physiotherapy or psychological help.

If you have a hip injury claim you could be entitled to compensation. Antony Hodari can assess your case and determine if there is a hip accident compensation claim to be made.
