Hip injuries or a pelvic injury are incredibly painful and can really affect your mobility and day-to-day life. If you’ve suffered a hip injury at work or through an accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be able to claim hip injury compensation.
The pelvis is made up of two hip bones that connect the spine to the legs, as well as two smaller bones called the sacrum and the coccyx. The hip bones consist of the ilium, ischium and pubis.
Hip and pelvic injuries can happen at any age but are particularly common in older age groups. Causes can include:
Probably the most serious form of hip injury is a fractured or broken hip, which can result in long-term immobility and time off work. Other types of injury include:
Hopefully your injuries will be short-lived and you will recover fully. But if you have sustained serious damage that requires surgery and long-term recovery or even disability, there are many financial pressures to consider.
If your injury is due to the fault of someone else, claiming a compensation settlement can help relieve those financial pressures, such as surgery, medical costs, recuperation, prescriptions, travel to hospital, loss of earnings and any support equipment you might need.
If your hip or pelvic injury was due to an accident at work, making a claim against your employer can also help to make sure any problems are addressed in order to protect other colleagues.
