How Much Compensation For Fractured Cheekbone
There is no explicit answer to the question of how much compensation for a fractured cheekbone as the amount you are entitled to will depend upon the severity of your injury. Each case is largely judged on its own merits so it is impossible to accurately estimate how much you might receive until your case is assessed by a specialist personal injury.

Level of injury |
Potential compensation |
Simple fracture of cheekbone for which no surgery is required and where there has been a complete recovery | £1,850 – £2,390 |
Simple fracture of cheekbones for which some reconstructive surgery is necessary but from which there has been a complete recovery with no or only minimal cosmetic effects | £3,470 – £5,150 |
Serious cheek fractures requiring surgery but with lasting consequences such as paraesthesia in the cheeks or the lips or some element of disfigurement | £8,130 – £12,580 |
As part of a compensation claim, you may also be able to recover any financial losses you have experienced as a result of your injury. These might include prescription costs, travel expenses or loss of earnings if you have had to take time off work.

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.
Except for children, there is a three-year time limit on making a personal injury claim. This time limit begins from the date that the accident occurred. You should contact a personal injury solicitor as soon as possible to assess your case.
