Rib Injury Compensation

If you have suffered a rib injury you may have bruised your ribs; experienced minor or major rib fractures; or even if you have had lung damage caused by a broken rib.

The majority of people who qualify to make a rib injury compensation claim do not. However, if the injury was not your fault then claiming compensation could be an option.

Causes of Rib Injuries

There is no one way in which you receive a rib injury and the amount of compensation you will get depends on the extent of the injury, rather than the type of accident. Below are some common kinds of injury claims relating to rib damage.

  • Car accident injuries
  • Physical assault
  • Accident at work e.g. falling from a height
  • Sporting accidents e.g. contact sports like rugby
  • Slipping or falling in public places claims

  • Report your accident at the earliest convenience. If your accident was at work then you should report it in your accident book. If you have been physically assaulted or involved in a road traffic accident then you should report the incident to the police
  • Proof of negligence of a third party needs to be given in a rib injury compensation case. You can help with this if you have evidence that supports this. E.g. witness statements, photographs of accident scenes or injuries with dates

A rib injury can be a single injury or part of a series of injuries caused by one accident. Whatever the reason for your rib injury you have 3 years from the date you had the accident in which you can make a compensation claim.
