WHAT TYPE OF BROKEN NOSE INJURY CAN I CLAIM FOR?

A broken nose can occur in a variety of different ways. If you, or a family member, are involved in a road traffic accident, receive a blow to the face whilst participating in sporting activities, are the victim of assault or another violent crime, or experience a slip, trip or fall which results in a facial injury, you could find yourself with a nasal injury.

If you suffer a broken nose in an accident or incident in which someone else was “at fault”, you may be able to make a claim for compensation.

Nasal fractures can be extremely painful, causing swelling and sometimes bleeding. A doctor will be able to confirm in each individual case that the nose is broken and the severity of the fracture, or multiple fractures, will be determined, along with the best course of action to repair the damage and an estimated timescale for recovery.

HOW MUCH AM I LIKELY TO RECEIVE FOR MY NOSE FRACTURE?

The amount of compensation you may be entitled to for your broken nose claim will depend on the severity of the injury itself and whether there are any long-term detrimental effects on your health or quality of life. For example, if your injury affected your sense of smell or resulted in permanent facial disfigurement. This will be determined by the result of medical reports prepared by a medical expert.

If your broken nose injury results in the need for surgery or multiple surgeries, or if you suffer from a permanent reduction or total loss in your sense of smell following the incident, this will help determine an approximate compensation award that you could claim.

The table below provides an estimated guide to the amount of compensation that you may receive for your broken nose alone. However, you should speak to a solicitor for a more precise indication of how much you could be entitled to.

In addition to claiming for the nose injury itself, you may also be able to claim for any financial loss. For example, you could recover loss of earnings if you have taken time off work to recover from your injuries. Your solicitor will calculate this part of your claim separately.

WHAT TO DO AFTER AN ACCIDENT?

• Take photos of what has happened-injuries and the scene of the accident.
• Get the details of any witnesses to the accident.
• Evidence of a loss of earnings if your injury has resulted in you needing time off work. Documents related to other financial expenditures connected to your injuries may also be required. This could include travel receipts to and from medical appointments.
• Seek medical attention

AMOUNT OF COMPENSATION IN BROKEN NOSE CLAIMS

All personal injury cases are unique and so the amount of compensation that is awarded in each case is also unique. The amount of compensation that is awarded is determined by looking at two distinct factors – general damages and special damages.

GENERAL DAMAGES

The pain and suffering that your injuries have caused is the main factor that is used to determine how much compensation you are owed.

SPECIAL DAMAGES

However, compensation also takes into account any financial losses that you might have suffered as a result of your injuries, such as a loss of earnings due to being unable to return to work.
