Understanding the range
What can affect hip and pelvic injury compensation?
The examples range from up to £4,820 for a minor soft-tissue injury to £95,680-£159,770 for the most severe pelvic or hip injury. The diagnosis is only the starting point: the evidence must show the recovery period and the effect the injury has had on the individual.
Severity, treatment and recovery
Hip and pelvic brackets span devastating fractures with organ or spinal complications through to soft-tissue injuries that make a full recovery.
Daily life and independence
Pain, movement, sleep, work, hobbies, care needs and loss of independence can all influence where an injury falls within a guideline range.
Medical and financial evidence
Independent medical evidence helps establish prognosis. Payslips, receipts, care records and expert evidence may support financial losses assessed separately from the injury award.
