Humerus Fracture Settlement: Value Ranges & Influencing Factors

Compensation for a humerus fracture varies widely based on:

• Fracture severity (simple vs. comminuted, open vs. closed)
• Complications (nerve/vessel injury, nonunion, malunion, compartment syndrome)
• Treatment required (casting vs. ORIF surgery vs. multiple surgeries)
• Permanent impairment (range-of-motion loss, strength deficit, chronic pain)
• Age, occupation, pre-injury health
• Jurisdiction and insurance policy limits

Rough Estimates (U.S. Personal Injury Context)

• Minor, uncomplicated: $15,000–$30,000
• Moderate with complications/surgery: $30,000–$60,000
• Severe with permanent disability: $100,000–several hundred thousand
