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 Is 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 3 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 Could You Be Compensated After Fracturing Your Face?

When making a personal injury claim, there are two potential heads of claim that could be included in a compensation award. General damages relate to the physical and psychological pain and suffering caused, as well as the general decline in your quality of life. Special damages, meanwhile, relate to the financial losses caused by the injury. This includes potentially claiming for things like:

Loss of earnings or future earnings if your injuries have stopped you from returning to work at all
Travel costs
Recreational events that you can no longer commit to

Each of these kinds of damages requires different evidence to support them. We will look at this in closer detail further on in this guide.

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 driver travelling behind you does not leave a safe stopping distance between your car and their own. When you stop to avoid a hazard in the road, they crash into the back of your car. The force of the impact means your face collides with the steering wheel. This could leave you wanting to use a broken nose compensation calculator.
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.

If you’re a driver or passenger over the age of 18 and your injuries are worth less than £5,000, you will need to make your claim through an online portal according to the Whiplash Injury Regulations 2021. Speak to our team before doing so, however, as you may be underestimating how much your injuries are worth.

Trips And Falls

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.

Being Struck By A Moving Object

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.

Physical Assaults

You may be seeking criminal injury compensation from being the victim of a crime, such as an assault. To claim this type of compensation, you can claim through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). However, you can still use our panel of No Win No Fee solicitors to help you make a claim.

The Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme 2012 outlines their tariff of injuries. This could show you how much compensation you could be owed. Examples of incidents where you may be able to claim through CICA include:

You experience domestic abuse and suffer a fractured nose and scar injury.
The shop you are working in is robbed, and the perpetrators hit you in the face with a blunt object. This breaks your nose.

There are a number of different requirements for claiming things like broken nose compensation through the CICA. For example, you must have reported the incident to the police in order to claim. Get in touch with our team today to find out more about how these kinds of claims differ.

Motor Vehicle Accident Statistics

The Department for Transport collects statistics for road traffic accidents in Britain. Casualties relate to both fatalities and people who suffered injuries from a road traffic accident. As you can see, the total number of casualties reported for every category is lower in 2020 than it was in 2019. For example, there were only 64,112 casualties reported in cars in 2020, as opposed to 89,331 in 2019.

These statistics show how common accidents resulting in casualties on the road are. If you’ve been injured in a car accident and want to pursue broken nose compensation, speak to our team today for more information.

Claiming Care And Other Medical Costs

As part of seeking broken nose compensation, you may be able to claim for financial losses caused by the injury. After being injured, you may have had to spend money on medical costs, which you could claim back as part of your compensation.

You will need evidence to prove the value of the losses you’re looking to claim. Things you could claim for include:

Private therapy that you require because of the psychological impact of the injury.
Prescription costs

Check How To Use A Broken Nose Compensation Calculator

Our broken nose compensation calculator can provide you with an accurate estimate of how much compensation you could be owed after your accident. You just need to input a few pieces of information about the accident to receive a valuation of your claim.

The Judicial College analyses previous payouts from personal injury claims, including broken nose compensation. In doing this, they have built general damages compensation brackets for a range of different injuries and their relevant severity. We use these compensation brackets, so you can be assured that our calculator is as accurate as possible when providing you with an estimated claim value.

How Much Are Fracture Nose Claims Worth?

The amount of compensation that you receive in general damages will be worked out with the help of a report from an independent medical assessment. This will usually be arranged for you as part of your claim.

In this assessment, a medical expert will speak with you about your injuries. They will also determine that they were caused by the accident you were involved in. Their findings will be collected in a report, which will be used alongside the guidelines from the Judicial College to help value your claim.

You could also receive special damages compensation. To receive this, however, you would need to provide evidence showing the losses you’ve suffered due to the nose injury. Evidence you would need includes:

Receipts
Invoices
Bank statements

Below is a series of injuries and the general damages compensation brackets that relate to each. These figures have been provided by The Judicial College.

Area of Injury	Amount of Compensation	Description
Nose	£9,990 to £21,700	Injuries in this bracket include multiple fractures requiring a number of operations that result in lasting consequences, such as difficulty breathing.
Nose	£3,710 to £4,790	Displaced fracture where surgery is required for a complete recovery.
Nose	£2,370 to £2,960	Displaced fracture where only manipulation is required.

Cheekbones	£9,570 to £14,810	Complex fractures requiring surgery resulting in lasting issues, such as paraesthesia in the cheekbones or lips.
Cheekbones	£4,080 to £6,060	Injuries in this bracket include simple cheekbone fractures requiring reconstructive surgery.
Jaw	£28,610 to £42,730	Multiple serious fractures requiring long-term treatment and permanent symptoms, such as severe pain.
Jaw	£16,860 to £28,610	Serious fracture resulting in permanent consequences, such as difficulty opening mouth or eating.
