General damages section 1 (k)
High-speed car and motor vehicle accidents often result in fractures to the leg and knee and a result of blunt force impact with an object such as the dashboard. The amount of general damages ie: non-economic loss depends on the nature of the injury and how it impacts a claimants lifestyle.
If you require a complete calculation including other entitlements such as lost earnings please can call us on 1800 106 107.
How much compensation for a broken Knee in a car accident?
| Section 1 (k) | Severity | excl lost earnings |
|---|---|---|
| Broken knee/patella | Minor | $8,000 to $16,000 |
| Moderate | $15,000 to $58,000 | |
| Severe | $42,000 to $98,000 |
Amounts shown include estimations for non-economic loss and not to be taken as a substitute for legal advice. In addition to non-economic loss, you may be entitled to compensation for lost earnings. These payments often exceed six-figures, so your final settlement could be considerably more.
How will my compensation be calculated?
Each state in Australia has its own rules and regulations however a legal representative will consider:
- The severity of your broken leg
- your legal fees
- past and future lost earnings
- contributory negligence
- success fees (which are mandatory in some states)
- and the state your car accident took place
All of the things mentioned above are variables which will affect your final compensation amount.
