Hip & Pelvis Injury Compensation Claims

What are the main causes of hip and pelvis accidents?

Hip and pelvis accidents are unfortunately quite common both in public and in the workplace. There are many causes, including:

• Slips, trips and falls
• Road traffic accidents
• Lifting or carrying heavy objects
• Injury when playing sport
• Hip replacement malpractice

What are the most common types of hip and pelvis injuries? 

Hip and pelvis injuries come in many forms, and each can affect the amount of compensation that one can claim. They include:

• Labral tear
• Snapping hip
• Stress fracture
• Muscle strain
• Osteitis pubis

What is a no win no fee claim and how does it work?

No win no fee claims mean that you won't pay a penny if your case is unsuccessful. It's sometimes referred to as a conditional fee and acts as a contract between you and your hip injury solicitor.

Legal fees can be extremely costly so we make it easier for you to get the justice that you deserve without the financial risk. That's why your lawyer will cover all legal fees and you'll only pay if you win your case.

Am I eligible to claim for a hip & pelvis injury?

If you've suffered from a hip and pelvis injury in the last three years and it wasn't your fault, you may be able to claim.

When you contact us, we provide a quick assessment and a solicitor will take your case if they're confident of winning. There'll be no upfront costs and legal fees will be covered until the outcome of your case. If you win, you'll pay a pre-agreed percentage of your hip injury compensation value. If you lose, you won't pay anything.

Where do I start my hip injury claim?

There are several ways to get the ball rolling with your hip and pelvis claim. They include:

• Phone one of our advisors directly on 0808 239 1585. We can be reached until late, seven days a week, and will give you a quick assessment of your claim.
• Fill out a form that contains simple details about you and your claim. We'll then give you a call back free of charge.

Use our compensation calculator. This will give you an indication of how much your hip injury might be worth - plus, you'll also find out if you can progress with your claim online.

How does the claims process work?

Once we know the details of your case and have agreed to take it on, the next steps will be as follows:

• Your hip and pelvis injury solicitor will take time to understand you and your injury. They will ask for evidence that could include witnesses, photographs and medical records.
• Your solicitor will then contact the person responsible and inform them of the accident and the claim.
• Should that person accept blame, your case will then be settled relatively quickly. If they don't, your lawyer will begin negotiations for you.

If your claim is successful, you'll receive your broken hip and pelvis compensation payment. Your solicitor will then take the percentage agreed upon. If you're unsuccessful, there'll be nothing to pay.

Can I make a hip & pelvis injury claim online?

Yes. Using our compensation calculator, you'll find out an estimated slip, trip and fall accident settlement amount. From here, you'll be able to see if you can continue with your claim online. Other companies use their settlement calculators as a means of contacting you - we simply ensure that ours gives you the honest answer that you need without wasting your time.

How long will it take?

When you get in touch with us, we'll assess your claim quickly. Once we accept your case, we'll start the process, give you end-to-end support and provide updates on the progress of your case.

It's important to note that cases can vary in completion time. It will depend on the acceptance of blame and sufficient evidence.

How much is the average compensation amount for a broken hip and pelvis?

When assessing compensation, we use the 16th edition of the Judicial College Guidelines to inform our calculator tool. This will allow us to give you an average figure of compensation for your hip injury.

How much will I pay my solicitor if I win?

The other party may be required to contribute towards your legal costs. Then, you'll pay a pre-agreed percentage of your compensation to cover the remaining charges. If you have any questions or concerns, your solicitor will talk you through them all before you progress the case.

Do I need to take out no win no fee insurance?

We recommend taking out After the Event (ATE) insurance for peace of mind. This policy is designed to make your claim risk-free and covers all legal expenses even if you lose. We'll organise the insurance for you and the premium is only paid if you win your case.

Will my claim go to court?

Most hip and pelvis injury claims are settled before they reach a courtroom. In the unlikely event that they do, however, you need not worry. Your solicitor will do all the work and keep you updated every step of the way.

What if I lose my hip & pelvis injury claim?

If your case is unsuccessful, you won't have to worry about paying any legal fees. Our no win no fee policy means that you only pay if your case wins.
