Ankle Injury Claims

We specialise in helping victims of ankle injuries claim compensation.

Ankle Injury Compensation

If you or a loved one have had an ankle injury and it was someone else’s fault, you may be able to claim compensation.

Due to the fact that our ankles bear the whole weight of our body, it’s not surprising that ankle injuries are quite common. Due to the same reason, ankle injuries can happen in a number of different ways, from everyday activities to sports-related activities or even simple slips and trips on public pathways and highways.

At The Compensation Experts, we understand that suffering from a serious ankle injury can cause discomfort, pain, frustration and lead to time off work. Long recovery times can lead to loss of enjoyment in the things that you once enjoyed, particularly physical activities. 

Our team of agents have helped thousands of people who have suffered ankle injuries.

The solicitors we work with all work on a no win no fee basis. If your claim is unsuccessful, this means that you or your loved ones are not left with any scary costs.

Typically, customers pay 25% including VAT of the compensation amount that is recovered by our third-party law firms, although this is subject to your individual circumstances and the actual fee may be more or less than this. For example, you may be required to pay an additional fee for other costs such as after-the-event (ATE) insurance. Termination fees may apply.

If your ankle injury was a consequence of negligence by a third party, we can help you to get ankle injury compensation. Don’t suffer in silence, speak to our friendly team today to find out how much you could claim.

Common Causes of Ankle Injuries

There are several factors that play into your ankle injury claim and its potential compensation amount. An essential step to calculate your ankle injury compensation amount is to determine the nature and cause of your ankle injury.

You may be entitled to file a compensation claim if your ankle injury was caused by any of the following examples:

  • Road accidents (including car, motorbike and cycling accidents)
  • Medical negligence (for example, incorrect and late diagnosis or faulty treatment)
  • Sports activities (sporting accidents that occurred in a public or private space)
  • Workplace accidents (including long-term ankle conditions caused by professional activities)
  • Slips, trips and falls in public spaces (shopping centres, pavements, parks, etc.)

Can I claim for a sprained ankle at work?

A sprained ankle is an injury that occurs when you roll, twist or turn your ankle in an awkward way. As a result, your ligaments that help hold the ankle bones together might stretch. This can cause pain, tenderness and weakness around your lower body. This type of ankle injury is extremely common. If your sprained ankle occurred as a result of your professional activity, then you may be entitled to file a sprained ankle claim for compensation.

Types of Ankle Injury Claims

Besides the sprained ankle injury, there are a number of other types of ankle injuries that might be eligible for compensation. The ankle is a highly complex structure of bones, ligaments and tendons, that combined with its weight-bearing function makes this part of the body very susceptible to a wide range of injuries. 

Some of the most common ankle injuries for compensation include:

  • Ankle dislocations
  • Ankle strains and sprains
  • Cuts and lacerations
  • Severe bruising
  • Breaks and fractures of the ankle

Compensation Amounts for Ankle Injuries

Your compensation amount for your ankle injury will vary greatly depending on the cause and severity of the injury, where it happened and how it happened. It is essential that you tell us all the restrictions your ankle injury has caused you, as well as the nature of the injury and its prognosis. You’re expected to receive compensation for the following types of damages:

  1. Suffering and Pain: this is also known as general damages and it corresponds to the compensation that is awarded for how much you have suffered as a result of your ankle injury.
  2. Medical Costs: this covers both the medical costs that you have already incurred as well as those you are likely to incur in the future. Medical costs include any medical equipment and medication costs, and any health care costs.
  3. Wage Loss: this type of damage covers any loss of earnings as a result of being off work and not being paid your usual wage.
  4. Travel Costs: travel costs incurred directly as a result of your ankle injury are eligible for compensation.

At The Compensation Experts, the solicitors we work with will look carefully at your case and offer you further guidance on whether you are likely to have a successful ankle injury claim.  Fee free to call us to discuss what areas or costs incurred as a result of your ankle injury can be compensated for.
