Hip injuries frequently affect mobility and independence and can involve surgery, prolonged rehabilitation, or lasting discomfort that disrupts daily life.
If a hip injury was caused by negligence, compensation may be available to address recovery costs and financial disruption. Jackson Personal Injury explains the claims process at an early stage and introduces claimants to solicitors from the panel who manage hip injury claims from start to resolution.
What Injuries Qualify for a Hip Injury Compensation Claim?
Hip injury claims can be brought where harm to the hip is caused by another party’s negligence, which includes fractures, dislocations, soft tissue damage, or complications following surgery after trauma.
These injuries often lead to reduced mobility, prolonged discomfort, and extended rehabilitation. A claim may be possible where the injury resulted from unsafe conditions, a workplace incident, or a road traffic accident.
How Much Compensation Can I Claim for a Hip Injury?
The value of hip injury claims ranges from £5,000 to over £120,000, depending on severity and long-term impact.
Compensation is influenced by the type of hip injury, need for surgery, length of recovery, level of ongoing disability, and effects on independence, employment, and quality of life. Awards usually include general damages for pain and suffering and special damages for financial losses such as medical expenses and lost earnings.

Are No Win, No Fee Hip Injury Claims Available From Solicitors?
Many hip injury claims are pursued under No Win, No Fee agreements, meaning there are no upfront legal costs and fees are only payable if the claim is successful.
The solicitor explains the funding terms clearly before proceeding. This funding arrangement allows individuals to pursue a claim without financial pressure during recovery, particularly where surgery, rehabilitation, or time off work is required.
How Long Do I Have to File a Hip Injury Compensation Claim?
In , hip injury claims usually must be started within three years from the date of the accident or from when the injury was first linked to the incident by medical advice. Exceptions apply for children and individuals lacking mental capacity.
Starting early helps ensure evidence is preserved. Beginning the claim promptly also helps ensure medical assessments accurately record the injury and its impact while incident details remain clear.
Can I Claim for Hip Injuries Caused by Slips, Falls, or Road Accidents?
Hip injuries sustained through slips, falls, or road accidents may qualify for compensation where negligence is involved. Claims commonly arise from supermarket accidents, unsafe public spaces, workplace falls, or vehicle collisions.
Solicitors from the panel assess liability and advise on claim viability. A claim may also include compensation for pain and suffering, medical treatment, rehabilitation costs, and any long-term impact on mobility or independence.
What Is the Process and Average Timeline for Hip Injury Claims?
Hip injury claims usually begin with an initial consultation, followed by evidence gathering and a medical assessment. The solicitor then notifies the responsible party’s insurer and seeks a settlement.
Straightforward claims may resolve within 6 to 9 months, while more complex cases involving surgery, long-term recovery, or disputed liability can take 12 months or longer. Solicitors from the panel aim to progress claims efficiently while ensuring compensation reflects the full impact of the injury.
Can I Claim for Hip Fractures, Dislocations, or Surgical Complications?
Hip injury claims can include fractures, joint dislocations, and complications arising from surgical treatment such as hip replacements.
Where these injuries were caused or worsened by negligence, compensation may reflect both immediate harm and long-term consequences, including reduced mobility, chronic pain, or the need for ongoing care.
