It is important that all factors are considered when calculating compensation for a fracture injury. Medical bills including prescriptions, surgery and physical therapy for months if not years can be very extensive and costly and must be considered. Lost income during the healing time, as well as compensation for future wages must also be considered. To help defray these costs, severe bone fracture victims can often get large compensation settlements.
The following is a guideline for compensation of fractures of the arm:
Values of arm fracture: $10,000.00 to $40,000.00
Your case is often valued in the $10,000 to $40,000 range when any or all of the following factors are present:
- When you do not need surgery
- When you have an excellent recovery
- When you will not likely have future pain or disability
- When your case would be tried in an area where juries are conservative in their awards.
Mid Range of Value for an Arm Fracture: $40,000 to $80,000
Your case is often valued in the $40,000 to $80,000 range when any or all of the following factors are present:
- When you need surgery
- When you have a good recovery
- When you have only a small likelihood of future pain or disability
- When your case would be tried in an area where juries are about average in their awards
High Range of Value for an Arm Fracture: $80,000 to $350,000
Your case is often valued in the $80,000 to $350,000 range when any or all of the following factors are present:
- When you require surgery
- When you have a poor to fair recovery
- When you will likely have significant future pain and disability
- When you may or will require additional surgery in the future
- When your case would be tried in an area where juries are liberal in their award
Often, in cases involving arm fractures -- resulting from slip/trip and fall trauma, car accident trauma and construction injuries -- the victim has other injuries as well. These frequently include wrist fractures, shoulder injuries and neck injuries.
