Complications after hip and pelvis injuires

  • Metalwork replacement/revision – possible need for future surgery to remove/replace screws, pins, plates, or hip prosthesis.

  • Sexual dysfunction – nerve, vascular or psychological impact; often missed in claims.

  • Post-traumatic arthritis – hip/pelvis arthritis accelerates after most injuries, especially with surgery or fracture.

Long-term effects often missed:

  • Chronic pain or Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)persistent, severe pain despite healing; can be medically complex and costly.

  • Mobility loss or restriction – difficulty walking, sitting, driving, or needing walking aids long-term.

  • Leg length difference/gait abnormality – especially after fractures, may require orthotics or shoe lifts. 

  • Urinary or bowel dysfunction – pelvis nerve injury can affect continence, needing future management.

  • Hip dislocation risk/future instability – risk increases after major trauma or replacement surgery.

  • Scarring and cosmetic impact – visible surgical scars; affects confidence for some clients. 

  • Depression, anxiety, psychological distressprolonged recovery, inability to return to work or lifestyle.

Why you need an expert hip & pelvis injury lawyer in WA

  • All these future costs, needs and medical risks can be missed by insurers in basic claims.

  • An experienced lawyer ensures every current and future medical/procedure, rehab, device, psychological, home modification, sex therapy, and lost wage is fully assessed and included in your claim.

  • Failure to document and quantify future damages = loss of payout.

If you have a hip or pelvis injury claim, ensure your lawyer seeks a detailed specialist report, documents complications, and formally forecasts future costs (not just current bills)—this maximises your WA compensation.

Hip & Pelvis Injury Claims in Western Australia – FAQ

Can I claim for a hip labral tear in WA?

Yes. Pathway depends on cause: ICWA, WorkCover WA or Public Liability.

Does surgery change compensation?

Sometimes, for instance a hip replacement procedure will increase whole person impairment in a workers compensation claim and would likely increase general damages in a motor vehicle (ICWA) claim.

How long can I sit or drive?

Varies. We document tolerance and negotiate breaks, sit–stand options and safe driving limits.

What are the time limits?

Usually the limitation date is three years from the date of the accident. In workers compensation claims you are required to make a claim within 12 months.

MRI shows a tear but X-ray was normal. Will I be successful in a claim?

On the face of it yes. MRI scans scan in a different way to x-rays.

Where can I learn more about WA injury claims?
