Broken Bone? Quick Answer
How much for a broken bone in WA?
Generally injuries with broken bones get more compensation as the initial injury is more obvious. The amount depends on the site, surgery, scarring, work impact and limitations imposed by WA law regarding injury compensation by the WorkCover WA guides to the assessment of permanent impairment and the ICWA threshold schedule. Contact us for your confidential discussion on ICWA broken bone settlement.
How is the fracture payout amount WA calculated?
The fracture payout amount WA usually depends on the severity of the injury, whether the person had surgery (such as an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF)), ongoing use of mobility aids such as crutches and a wheelchair, visible scarring, loss of earnings and effect on the person’s life generally.
Does surgery increase payout in WA?
Often yes. ORIF, plates & screws, hardware removal, and visible scarring can raise value for general damages (pain and suffering). In circumstances where function, pain, or appearance are affected the claim for future losses can be relatively high.
What evidence do I need for a fracture claim?
Generally you will need a report from a surgeon (either treating surgeon or independent medical examiner) setting out the nature of the injury (with reference to x-ray, and imaging), explaining the injury trajectory and prognosis for the future including any future medical treatment. Other helpful evidence includes hospital/operation notes, scar photos, physio/OT records and return-to-work plans.
What’s the time limit for a fracture claim WA?
Motor vehicle (ICWA): Give written notice to ICWA as soon as practicable after the crash.
Workers compensation (WorkCover WA): Generally 12 months from the date of injury to make a claim by giving your employer a Workers’ Compensation Claim Form and a First Certificate of Capacity. Late claims can sometimes proceed (e.g., reasonable cause/no prejudice), but they’re harder.
If your fracture claim hasn’t settled, you must start court proceedings within 3 years of the accident (limited exceptions for children or incapacity). If the fracture happened while working in a crash, you may have both claims. Get advice early to protect all deadlines.
Can I claim if I’m partly at fault?
Usually yes. Your payout may reduce for contributory negligence. We’ll explain the impact. The workers compensation system is a no-fault system so in most cases a person will have a claim even if nobody is at fault for their injury.
