A Guide To Using A Broken Nose Compensation Calculator

A broken nose injury can be difficult to deal with and recover from. This is because injuries to your nose can cause breathing problems that might require surgery to fix. Furthermore, facial injuries can have a lasting negative impact on your mental health if you feel they are disfiguring.

This is where our personal injury calculator can help. It can calculate your potential broken nose compensation settlement in just a few minutes. All we need to know is what kind of injury you are looking to claim for, how it occurred, and any loss of earnings you would like to be included in your claim. These factors can affect the amount of compensation you could receive.

What Do I Do If I Have A Broken Nose?

You may have questions such as, “How can I tell if my nose is broken?”. A fractured nose might cause symptoms like:

Severe pain
Swelling and bleeding
Bruising and tenderness
Difficulty breathing through your nose
Deformity around the injured area

If your accident has caused clear fluid to trickle from your nose, you’re experiencing severe headaches and double vision, or if you have numbers or tingling in your arms, you should go to the hospital straight away. These symptoms could indicate a severe head or brain injury.

Regarding a treatment plan for more complicated injuries, your nose may need to be reset. This can only be done after the swelling has gone down. Usually, a broken nose will have recovered within three weeks. However, in some circumstances, this could take longer.

You should always get an accurate assessment of your injury by a medical professional if you’ve experienced an injury. Not only will this ensure that you get the treatment you need for your injuries, but it could also provide evidence to support your claim down the line.

How Do People Break Their Nose?

In order to be eligible to claim compensation for a nose injury, you need to show that the injury was the result of negligence. This means that someone owed you a duty of care, but this was breached, and you were injured as a result.

In this section, we will look at some of the scenarios in which you’re owed a duty of care that can be breached. Don’t worry if you don’t see your injury mentioned below; this list isn’t exhaustive, and you can get in touch with a member of our team to assess your eligibility to claim.

Motor Vehicle Accidents

When on the road, you owe others a duty of care, and they owe you a duty of care in turn. The things that road users are expected to do to keep the roads safe are outlined in the Highway Code.

There are a number of ways you could be injured as the result of a road traffic accident caused by someone else’s negligence. For example:

A car accident occurs because a driver is on their phone and pulls out of a side road without checking that the main road is clear. The resulting crash causes a broken nose as well as a broken collarbone and fractured wrist.
You’re cycling in a cycle lane, and a drunk driver loses control of their vehicle and collides with your vehicle head-on. You’re thrown from your bike and break your nose, as well as your pelvis and a tooth.

Public accidents

You could also receive broken nose compensation if you have suffered an injury in a public place. This is because controllers of public spaces (referred to as “occupiers” in the relevant legislation) have a duty of care towards those who use the space for the intended purpose. This is set out in the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957.

If you injure yourself because the occupier of the space didn’t do all they could to ensure your safety, you may be able to make a compensation claim. Examples of this could include:

While shopping, a shelving unit that is not secured to the wall falls forward. Your nose is broken, and you suffer an ankle fracture when it falls on top of you.
You’re in the gym. As you are using one of the weight machines, the wire snaps, and the weight swings forwards and hits you in the face. You experience a broken nose and a fractured skull as a result.
There may be no warning signs regarding a wet floor, resulting in you slipping and injuring yourself. As a result, you may look up broken nose compensation payouts.

Workplace injuries

You may also be looking to claim broken nose at work compensation after an accident at work. Employers have a duty of care to every member of staff. They have a responsibility to take all reasonably practicable steps to ensure their safety. This is outlined in The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.

If you injure yourself in a workplace as a result of employer negligence, you may be able to claim for broken nose at work compensation. Examples of injuries that could entitle you to claim include:

Faulty machinery could result in debris or a large object hitting you after falling off a conveyor belt. This could cause a broken nose and other injuries, such as a hairline fracture to the cheekbone.
A malfunctioning drill could fall onto you when it’s dropped, causing a work injury.
One of your colleagues has not been trained on how to use a forklift truck but is instructed to do so anyway. They lose control of the vehicle and collide with you. You fall to the ground, breaking your nose and forearm as a result.

How Much Are Fractured Nose Claims Worth?

While our broken nose compensation calculator provides a useful snapshot of what your payout could look like, it is important to note that every claim is different. Many different factors can impact the amount you receive. Firstly, you could be compensated in up to two ways.

A nose injury compensation calculator focuses on general damages, which is compensation for pain and suffering inflicted due to the accident. This can include psychological pain alongside a nose injury.

The severity of your injury will impact on the level of award. For example, a serious and permanent fracture is likely to attract a higher award than a split nose. Additionally, a loss of amenity, meaning the inability to do things like hobbies that you could do before the broken nose injury, can add to the payout.

The second head of loss, called special damages, accounts for financial loss caused by your injuries. This is not a guaranteed part of a compensation payout, but some claimants find that it can exceed the general damages portion. With relevant evidence like payslips or receipts, you could seek special damages compensation for the likes of:

Lost earnings.
Medical fees.
Prescription charges.
Travel expenses.

Broken Nose Compensation Claim No Win No Fee Agreements

Our panel of solicitors work on a No Win No Fee basis. What this means is:

Your personal injury solicitor will not request legal fees at any point during the claims process.
Your personal injury solicitor will also not request legal fees from you if your claim is unsuccessful.
Instead, they will take a portion of your compensation in the form of a “success fee” if they win your claim. The Conditional Fee Agreements Order 2013 is a piece of legislation that puts a cap on the percentage that a solicitor can take.

These kinds of agreements mean that claimants can access legal representation. What’s more, they can do this without paying large upfront or ongoing feed with no guarantee that they will receive compensation. If you feel that this kind of agreement could benefit you, speak to a member of our team today.
