What Is a Missed Fracture Claim?
When you suffer a broken bone, you expect doctors to diagnose and treat it properly. If medical staff fail to spot a fracture on an X-ray or misdiagnose it as a sprain or minor injury, the bone may heal incorrectly, leading to chronic pain, long-term disability, or the need for further surgery.
A missed fracture claim is the legal process of seeking compensation if you or a loved one have suffered harm because a fracture was not diagnosed or treated correctly.
If you have been affected in the last three years, LITKRAFT can help you make a claim and secure the compensation and support you need.
Who Can Claim?
You may be entitled to bring a missed fracture claim if you are:
• A patient whose fracture was not diagnosed, causing delayed healing or complications
• A parent or guardian making a claim for a child whose fracture was missed by medical staff
• A family member claiming after a loved one suffered lasting harm from a missed fracture
• A representative acting for someone unable to bring the claim themselves

What Types of Missed Fracture Claims Do We Handle?

Misdiagnosis as a Minor Injury – fractures diagnosed as sprains, bruises, or soft tissue injuries.
Failure to Refer for Further Imaging – no MRI/CT scan despite ongoing pain or risk of complications.
Delayed Treatment – fractures spotted too late, causing improper healing or deformity.
Inadequate Follow-Up Care – lack of monitoring leading to complications such as non-union or arthritis.
What Can You Claim For?
• Pain, suffering, and reduced quality of life
• Long-term complications, including permanent disability or deformity
• Psychological distress and trauma
• Loss of income and reduced earning capacity
• Medical treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care
• Assistance and support provided by family members
• Travel expenses and out-of-pocket costs
How Much Compensation Could You Receive?
The amount of compensation depends on:
• The severity of injury and long-term effects
• Medical evidence and recovery outlook
• Financial losses, including loss of earnings and care costs
• The impact on daily life and independence
• The cost of future treatment, therapy, and support
Solicitors use medical reports, expert opinions, financial documents, and Judicial College Guidelines (JCG) to calculate fair settlements.

I am very impressed with the service provided. Thanks to LITKRAFT assistant I was able to prove my innocence. Third party was denying the damages suffered, but we never gave up, resulting in a settlement of compensation that I was really happy with.
If you had an accident – immediately call LITKRAFT. They are true professionals and it really shows, as they can tell you straight away if you have a case. When I had another accident I emailed all details to them and they called me back within 20 min.
Great company, fantastic staff who are just a phone call away to help. They were very patient in explaining every document received from solicitors or doctors. When we first started the claims process, the other party tried to deny liability, but LITKRAFT solicitor fought my case in court and won it. I was delighted with the process and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from LITKRAFT.
