An ankle injury is one of the most common of all inflictions. It occurs so easily that there doesn't need to be a dramatic accident or extreme incident on someone else's part - it can occur simply as a result of them not doing something, such as failing to maintain a pavement.
Can I claim compensation for an ankle injury?
Most common cause of ankle injury is playing sports, but even a slight stumble can cause a sprain which can take some time to heal. As sprains are sustained so easily compensation for slight injury is relatively low and many believe they cannot claim for tripping over something. This is not the case. If you fall over and twist your ankle because you stumbled over a broken or unlevel paving slab, those responsible for maintaining the area concerned may well be liable on the grounds of negligence. This would be the land or building owner, local authority etc., depending on whether it is on public or private property.
How much compensation can I get for an ankle injury?
For a minor fracture or sprain with full recovery, compensation can be up to £3,000. More severe ankle injury, which causes difficulty walking. long-term disability and the need for prolonged treatment, £7,000 to £26,000 is the guideline range. For the most severe damage including permanent deformity or risk of amputation, £26,000 to £36,000 can be awarded.
