A Guide On How To Use A Cuboid Fracture Compensation Calculator
A cuboid fracture can be a very debilitating injury due to how it can affect your mobility and, in some cases, your ability to work. It can greatly impact your life, affecting the things you’re able to do. In addition to this, like any broken bone, it also has the potential to cause you pain.
If you can prove that your accident came about because someone breached their duty of care towards you, you could claim. This is where our personal injury calculator could help. All you need to provide is:
- The kind of injury you have sustained
- How the injury was caused
- Financial losses, if any, you’ve suffered due to the injury.
It can give you a compensation estimate in minutes. If you prefer, you can speak to one of our advisors for free legal advice. They can provide you with a compensation estimate over the phone. Call them using the phone number at the top of this page.
What Is A Cuboid Fracture Or Break?
NHS guidance states that symptoms for a broken bone in your foot can include:
- Immediate pain
- Swelling and bruising
- Difficulty bearing weight on the injury
However, to fully answer questions such as “Is my foot broken?” you will need to refer to medical professionals. Your doctor will usually confirm the cuboid avulsion fracture through the radiology department. Scans such as X-rays can be used to show the nature of your injury.
Cuboid fracture treatment normally involves applying a supportive shoe to the injured foot to help it bear weight. The boot will usually be needed for two to six weeks. However, depending on the severity of the injury, it can take up to six months for symptoms to completely go away. Walking on a cuboid fracture can be done, but you should always speak to your doctor before resuming your normal activities.
You may also be wanting to know answers to questions like “Is a cuboid fracture serious?” and “What are potential cuboid fracture complications?”. Some cuboid fractures, such as a hairline fracture, might not be particularly serious; in some cases, you might not even notice you’ve broken a bone.
Potential complications to a cuboid fracture could include:
- Scarring from surgery
- Stiffness
- Prolonged swelling
- Decreased strength in the injured foot
Exercises can help with the recovery process. This is something that is usually recommended when the treatment for your cuboid fracture is through the NHS. However, you should always speak to your doctor before undertaking any exercises with a fractured cuboid; they are in the best position to advise you about your individual circumstances.
If you have any more questions, for example, about cuboid avulsion fracture healing time, please refer to your doctor or a medical professional. Or, for free legal advice, speak to our team today.
How Could I Be Compensated After I Fractured A Cuboid Bone In My Foot?
There are two potential heads of claim when claiming for a cuboid fracture, as with any type of injury. General damages relate to the physical and psychological pain caused by the injury, also taking into consideration any general decline in your quality of life.
Special damages, meanwhile, relate to the financial losses suffered due to the injury. This means that you could claim for things like:
- Loss of earnings or future earning potential
- The cost of care
- Travel costs to and from hospital appointments or meetings with your solicitor
- The cost of activities that you’re no longer able to attend.
To get a reliable estimate of the settlement you could receive, use our cuboid fracture compensation calculator today. Or speak to a member of our team if you’re unsure whether your claim could include the costs you have incurred in special damages.
What Causes Fractures In The Foot And Cuboid Fractures?
You may be wondering, “When am I able to claim for a broken foot?” Making a successful personal injury claim revolves around proving that third party negligence caused your injury.
Negligence is where a third party does not fulfil their duty of care towards you. You’re owed a duty of care when you’re in a number of different situations. This section will highlight instances where you may be able to claim due to a breach of duty of care.
Direct Blows To The Foot – Objects Falling From A Height
Those who are in control of public places (referred to as the “occupier”) have a duty of care to those who use the space according to the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957. Within reason, it’s their obligation to make sure that every person can use the place for its intended purpose free from the risk of harm.
If you’ve suffered a cuboid avulsion fracture due to negligence on behalf of the occupier, you may be able to claim. Examples of such negligence include:
- An object, such as a box that is not secured correctly on the shelf falling and injuring you. This could cause a left cuboid fracture as well as a potential hairline fracture.
- In a restaurant, a waiter could slip and drop a tray onto your foot. This could result in a cuboid bone fracture, leading to you using a personal injury calculator to work out how much you could be owed.
- You could be using a stairway, and the handrail could be faulty, leading to it falling on your foot. This could result in you needing cuboid fracture treatment.
Manual Handling Accidents In The Workplace
Manual handling roles can leave you more susceptible to injury due to their physical nature. Employers have a duty of care to all of their employees to take all reasonable steps to make sure they are safe and secure while working the role. Their duty of care is highlighted within The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.
If you feel you’ve been injured due to your employer being negligent, you may be able to claim. Negligence resulting in a manual handling accident could include:
- Insufficient training, resulting in you lifting something with incorrect technique and it falling on your foot. This could result in a left cuboid fracture.
- Being asked to lift an object that is too heavy. This could lead to a broken bone in your foot. You may then want to use a personal injury calculator.
- Unsafe flooring could lead to slipping while carrying a heavy object, causing it to land on your foot. This work injury could also lead to other issues, such as an ulna fracture and a distal radius fracture.
Trips Or Falls
If you’ve suffered an injury from a slip, trip or fall due to an accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be able to claim. The work environment needs to be as safe as reasonably possible for you to work in. If it isn’t, and you injure yourself in an accident caused by a duty of care breach, you might be able to claim due to employer negligence. Examples of this could include:
- Slipping on a wet floor due to there being no warning signs.
- Exposed wiring resulting in you falling and seriously injuring yourself. It could lead to injuries like a cuboid fracture or a broken nose.
- Faulty equipment, such as an unsafe ladder, could result in you falling from a height. This could cause various injuries like a broken collarbone and a cuboid bone fracture.
Vehicle Crashes
A vehicle crash or a road traffic accident can have a devastating impact on your physical and mental well-being. Every road user in the UK has a duty of care to one another, as outlined in the Highway Code.
According to this, every road user must adhere to the standard of skill and care of the average motorist. No allowances will be made if, for example, you’re an inexperienced or newly qualified driver. Accidents that occur as a result of negligence could include:
- Another driver crashing into your vehicle because they failed to leave a safe stopping distance between themselves and the back of your car. After this car accident, you may want to use our cuboid fracture compensation calculator to calculate how much you could receive.
- A drunk driver fails to stop at a give way line. This could cause a side-impact accident. This road traffic accident could lead to cuboid fracture complications, meaning that it could take longer for you to return to work.
- A foot injury caused by a head-on collision caused by a drunk driver travelling the wrong way down a one-way road. If you’ve previously suffered a cuboid stress fracture, this could be exacerbated or accelerated as the result of this accident.
If your injuries are worth less than £5,000, the Whiplash Injury Regulations 2021 mean that the way you claim compensation has changed. However, before you claim through this method, please call one of our advisors for free legal advice using the phone number at the top of this page. You may be underestimating the value of your injuries.
Statistics On Road Safety In The UK
The Department for Transport provides road traffic accident statistics related to Great Britain. The latest available are statistics for 2020. Casualties relate to fatalities, serious and minor injuries caused by road traffic accidents. As you can see, there were 140 female casualties in the 25 to 59 age range, as well as 132 casualties in the 60-plus age group. In total, there were over 330 female road traffic casualties in 2020 across Great Britain.
If you think you may be able to claim after being injured in an accident you weren’t liable for, you may be able to claim compensation for the suffering you have experienced. Our compensation payout calculator can provide you with a compensation estimate in minutes. If you prefer, you can speak to our advisors for free legal advice using the phone number at the top of this page.
What Physical Or Medical Care Expenses Could I Be Compensated For?
Special damages relate to the financial losses you’ve suffered from the injury. As part of this, you could claim care costs. Due to the debilitating nature of the injury, you may have had to pay for things to help with your recovery. You may be able to claim this back.
You will need evidence to show the losses that you’re looking to claim. Examples of care costs include:
- Prescriptions/medicine
- Private physiotherapy if you couldn’t get it for free on the NHS
- Gracious care from loved ones, for instance, if a friend or family member has had to take time off work to take you to and from appointments.
How Do I Check My Payout With A Cuboid Fracture Compensation Calculator?
You can see how much you could receive from the accident, whether it was a slip, trip or fall or a manual handling accident, by using our compensation payout calculator. It collects all the relevant information to provide you with a reliable compensation estimate. It also offers a breakdown to better understand what your potential compensation award could consist of.
The Judicial College has provided guidelines that have helped in providing the estimate from our calculator. They have analysed previous general damages payouts for various injuries of different severities. As a result, they’ve been able to build compensation brackets for many different types of injuries. These brackets are what we use in our compensation calculator.
What Damages Could I Expect To Be Awarded?
General damages relate to the pain and suffering caused by the injury itself, both physical and psychological. In order to value the special damages head of the claim, you will usually be invited to a medical assessment with an independent specialist.
They will then assess the extent of your injuries and determine how long they are likely to affect you. Their report from this assessment will be used with the help of the Judicial College Guidelines to help value your claim.
Special damages, on the other hand, are awarded in relation to the financial losses you’ve suffered. Special damages can greatly increase the compensation you could receive should your claim be successful.
You do, however, need evidence proving the financial losses. If you’re unable to provide evidence, you will most likely not receive any of the special damages you’re looking to claim. Examples of evidence can include:
- Receipts
- Invoices
- Bank statements
For more information on how general and special damages are calculated, speak to a member of our team today. Otherwise, read on for more information on how much your injuries could be worth.

No Win No Fee Agreements And Cuboid Fracture Compensation Calculators
Many people have heard the phrase “No Win No Fee” before. But do you know exactly what a No Win No Fee agreement, otherwise known as a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA), means?
This kind of agreement sets out the conditions that need to be met before you’re expected to pay your solicitor. It means that:
- Your personal injury solicitor will not request legal fees upfront or during the claims process.
- Instead, they will take a small, legally capped portion out of your compensation as payment upon your personal injury claim being successful.
- If your claim is unsuccessful, your personal injury solicitor will not request any legal fees from you.
If you feel that a No Win No Fee agreement could be of use to you, why not speak to our team today? Provided your claim is valid, you could be connected with a No Win No Fee solicitor from our panel to represent you.

FAQs After Using A Cuboid Fracture Compensation Calculator
Can I claim for a minor break or fracture?
Yes, you can claim for a fracture or break that is relatively minor. In order to claim, you need to have experienced some pain and suffering because of an injury caused by a breach of duty of care.
Can I claim for complications caused by a fracture?
As part of the claims process, complications arising from the injury are also considered. This includes, for example, potential psychological injuries suffered as part of the accident or the risk of arthritis developing as the result of your condition.
Could I claim if medical negligence made my injury worse?
You could potentially claim if medical negligence led to the worsening of your condition. You would need to show that a doctor breached their duty of care to you while administering treatment.
What could be the long-term impact of a break or fracture?
The long-term impact of a break could involve the bone not healing correctly. So, for a foot fracture, it could cause you to be unable to walk as comfortably as before. Use our cuboid fracture compensation calculator now to see how much you could claim.
