Elbow Injury claim

The elbow is an extremely important joint in the body, as it is used in almost every aspect of a person’s professional or personal life.

An elbow injury can affect your ability to work, participate in sports or do any of the other things you love. A serious elbow injury can require a long period of treatment or therapy, which can have serious financial implications.

Due to this, your personal injury claim should also include compensation for any of the financial losses you experience as a result of the injury to your elbow. It will also cover the pain and suffering which you endured as a result.

While getting compensation for your injuries will not disregard the inconvenience, pain and suffering which a severe injury would have caused, it can offer you some financial security and support you to move forward. Injuries to the elbow are typically categorised as moderate as they tend to heal over time and usually do not have any permanent effects.

If you or anyone you know has suffered an injury to the elbow and require legal advice, get in touch with one of our personal injury solicitors today. If you have any questions or apprehensions, we will be happy to help. You can call us for free on 0800 0747 644 or fill in our contact form and a member of our team will get back to you.

What injuries have you sustained to your elbow?

Over the years, we have handled claims for a range of elbow injuries, including:

Dislocated Elbow: This happens when the bones of the forearm shift out of place. Although most elbow dislocations are usually the result of a fall, any traumatic injury can result in an elbow dislocation.

Damaged ulnar collateral ligament: This injury can range from a strain to a complete split and could take anything from a few days to over a year to heal.

Bursitis: An injury which is caused by hitting your elbow which can lead to major swelling.

Muscle strain: Where the biceps, triceps, extensors or forearm flexors are injured.

Fractured elbow: Elbow fractures are usually caused by direct impact, a fall or a twisting injury.
