Hip Injury

A hip injury can be sustained a number of ways, but if the injury was caused by faulty equipment at work or a road accident, for instance, then the sufferer stands a good chance of obtaining compensation for negligence. Typical negligence compensation payouts for a hip injury can be anything up to £6,500 for a minor injury and as much as £13,000 for a serious one.

Common causes of hip injury are slips and falls on construction sites - particularly falls from ladders - sports injuries, or a defective footpaths. Older people are particularly prone to hip injury on falling down; yet hip injuries in the young are also common and can mean a life of physical impairment.

If you have sustained a hip injury through no fault of your own, whether walking down the street, at work, or being involved in an accident; you should speak with a personal injury solicitor. You may be able to claim substantial compensation if indeed negligence was at play and may also receive funds for loss of wage through your hip injury.

Many law firms work on a no win, no fee basis; meaning if you do not receive compensation you won’t have to pay them. Furthermore, even if you do win compensation for your hip injury, your solicitor will claim their fee from the defence and not from the compensation you have been awarded for your hip injury.
