Most typically, compensation for multiple fractures is paid to workers who have suffered injuries in falls from height, whether from ladders, mobile working equipment or in a construction setting.
Every year in the UK, several thousand people suffer multiple fractures in fall from height accidents.
Employers have statutory and common law obligations to protect the safety of employees who work from height. Some of the most important pieces of legislation relating to this are:
Although recovery time depends on the site and severity of injury, multiple fractures can take a very long time to heal and may result in long-term problems such as loss of mobility, loss of shape and different types of secondary injury.
As such, there is no hard rule dictating payouts of compensation for multiple fractures. Instead, the calculation of a settlement will depend on the site of the injuries, the severity of the injuries, medical expenses incurred and the effect these factors have had on the claimant's earnings.
Construction is the industry responsible for causing the most multiple fractures in falls from height. As such, the Health and Safety Executive advises, "It is important that all tower scaffolds are erected and dismantled correctly and that guard rails are fitted so as to prevent falls.
"All too often tower scaffolds are used incorrectly without the correct handrails. All working platforms must be provided with suitable edge protection. Guard rails should be at least 950mm high and an intermediate guard rail should be provided so that workers can't fall through any unprotected gaps."
Claim compensation for multiple fractures caused by a work accident
The term multiple fractures can refer either to several fractures sustained by a single bone or to fractures sustained to a number of bones.
If you have suffered multiple fractures in workplace accident, whether you work in construction, agriculture or some other industry, it may be possible to claim compensation if it can be proved that the incident was caused, at least in part, by the negligence of another party.
