Facial Injuries
Facial Injuries
There are three elements which complicate facial injury awards. First are cases where there is disfigurement or some cosmetic effect. The second is where there is a cosmetic element; females would receive a higher award than a male with the same injury. The third issue is in cases of disfigurement where there are also severe psychological reactions.
Skeletal Injuries
The amount of compensation you might receive from a frontal facial bone or le fort fracture would be in the region of £14,000 to £21,350.
For multiple fractures of facial bones which involve some permanent facial deformity the amount would be in the region of £8,650 to £14,000.
Nose fractures
Serious nose or nasal complex fractures which require a number of operations, or result in permanent damage to airways or nerves, or facial deformity the amount would be in the region of £6,100 to £13,500.
A displaced fracture where the injured person recovers after surgery the amount would be in the region of £2,300 to £3,000.
A displaced fracture that only requires some manipulation the amount would be in the region of £1,400 to £1,775.
With a simple undisplaced fracture where there is a full recovery the amount would be in the region of £1000 to £1,400.
Fractures of Cheekbones

Fractures of the cheekbone where there was no need for surgery and the recovery was complete the amount would be in the region of £1,400 to £1,725.
Fractures of Jaws
