Arm Injuries
Arm Injuries Severe arm injuries which just fall short of amputation but are serious enough to leave the injured person little better off than if the arm had been amputated could result in a compensation award of £56,000 to £76,350. A serious brachial plexus injury is one example. Arm fractures which are serious enough to caused permanent disability, whether functional or cosmetic could bring in compensation damages of around £22,650 to £34,850. A less severe arm injury where there will have been significant disabilities but a substantial degree of recovery will have taken place or should take place will bring in compensation damages of around £11,200 to £22,650. For a simple fracture of the forearm with a complete recovery within a short period of time would justify an award between £3,800 to £11,200. The top end of the scale would be awarded where the injury resulted in modest continuing disability or deformity.
