Who Pays Out Broken Arm Compensation Claims?

An insurance company usually pays financial compensation to settle a broken arm compensation claim. This is helpful information if a friend or family member was the source of your fracture.

Insurance companies typically try to dispute liability or say you helped cause the accident, in which case you could have contributory negligence and a reduced payout value. Experienced compensation lawyers explain how this works and how to reduce your contribution level.

Types of Broken Arm Compensation Claims

Broken Arm Workers Compensation Claims

You could seek workers’ compensation when you have a fractured humerus, fractured sternum, or bone break from a workplace accident. Under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011, your employer has a legal duty to take reasonable measures to protect you from workplace injuries.

Consequently, when you suffer a work-related injury, either:

  1. On the job
  2. On your way to or from work
  3. As a result of work-related travel
  4. At a work event or function

you could be eligible to claim WorkCover insurance benefits.

If your arm injury leaves you with a permanent impairment, you may also be eligible to make a whole-person impairment claim and receive a lump sum payment. Contact our workers’ compensation lawyers for free advice if this is your situation.

When you make a common law claim for a broken arm injury, you are suing for the financial damages caused by another party’s negligent action or inaction.

A successful common law claim provides a lump sum payment as the final settlement of your claim. This payout includes economic and non-economic damages for pain and suffering, lost income and super, and other financial losses.

To prove your case, you must show that someone else caused your injury by failing an owed duty of care. This process relies on evidence like medical assessments and reports, witness statements, and other expert assessments.

Time limits apply to common law claims, so please seek legal advice to protect your rights.

Broken Arm Compensation for a Motor Vehicle Accident

You can have severe injuries in a motor vehicle accident. The severity of car accident fractures relies on several factors, including:

  1. The type of motor vehicle involved.
  2. The speed at which it is travelling.
  3. Whether or not the occupants wore seatbelts.
  4. And whether you were the driver, passenger, or a pedestrian

Regardless of how your injury occurred, you could claim traffic accident compensation under various circumstances. When successful, the CTP insurer of the at-fault party will fund your payout. This fact is reassuring if a friend or family member is at fault.

Personal injury claims for broken arm injuries can result from accidents in public spaces. To have a successful arm injury claim, someone must have failed their owed duty, and you were harmed. For example, your local council may have been negligent when you broke your arm because of an accident on a footpath.

Likewise, when you have neck, arm or shoulder injuries in a shopping centre or car park accident or a slip and fall accident on public or privately owned property, you can make a public liability claim for your loss.

What if I Can't Work Anymore?

Severe arm accidents can cause serious injuries that leave you with a partial or permanent disability. When a bone break causes lasting damage, you could be assessed as having a Total and Permanent Disability (TPD). While this sounds quite serious, it simply means your injury prevents you from working in your usual occupation.

Most Australians have TPD insurance benefits contained within their superannuation policy. TPD payouts can be substantial and give you the finances you need to transition to a new life. Our insurance lawyers will explain your eligibility to make a TPD claim for free.
