Broken bones: wrist, leg, rib, pelvis, and others. The table below shows indicative settlement bands by jurisdiction; each names its source or is marked as a MyClaimWorth estimate. Bands are starting points for valuation, not quotes for any specific case.
Band figures are pulled from each country page. Each names its source or is marked as a MyClaimWorth estimate. Click any country to read the deeper context.
Bands are the closest-match row for fracture on each country page. Where a country reports multiple severity tiers (minor, moderate, severe), the most severe matching band is shown here; lighter tiers are on the country page itself.
A claim doesn't sit at the median of the band by default. These are the variables that push it toward either end.
A documented prognosis of permanent impairment moves the band toward the upper end across every jurisdiction. Resolved-by-six-months presentations cluster at the lower end.
Contemporaneous treating-physician notes plus an independent specialist report carry more weight than retrospective reconstructions. Gaps invite under-valuation.
Payslips and tax records make special damages calculable. Self-employed claimants need accountants' letters.
A 30% fault finding cuts a band award by 30% in pure-comparative jurisdictions. A 50%+ finding extinguishes recovery in modified-bar states; a 1%+ finding extinguishes recovery in pure contributory states.
Where a cap applies (CA MICRA on med-mal, the Australian state Civil Liability Acts, the Canadian Andrews cap), the upper band is the cap, not the catastrophic-case figure.
Pre-litigation pathways (UK whiplash portal, IE PIAB, AU CTP statutory benefits) cap procedural levers and tend to compress bands toward the median.
Each country page goes deeper: authority document, statute of limitations, fault rule, caps, sub-jurisdictions, key cases, procedural pathway, glossary.
Short, direct answers to the questions people ask most.
Numbers on this page are starting points, not quotes for any specific case. For representation, consult a solicitor or attorney qualified in your jurisdiction. See /methodology for how each band is derived, /sources for the standing authority list, and /disclaimer for the scope statement.
