Fractured Sternum Compensation Claims, Scotland

Sternum injuries can be very painful, although this should ease after about 6 to 8 weeks. If you need surgery, your recovery time could be longer.

If you have suffered a fractured sternum, it is important to seek immediate medical advice. An X-ray will be needed to give an exact diagnosis, and decide on the best form of treatment.

Making a fractured sternum compensation claim

Levels of fractured sternum compensation can depend on how the incident happened and the long-term effect it has had on you.

You have up to three years to make a claim. However, we would encourage you to make a claim as quickly as possible. This will make it easier to gather supporting evidence and ensure that witnesses don’t forget important details.

Some of the evidence we will gather include:

While we are making your claim, we can help you access specialist medical care, such as physiotherapy.

This can help aid your recovery and reduce the severity of the long-term effects of a fractured sternum.

Compensation claims are generally settled out of court. If court action is needed, we are tough and experienced litigators.
