Anyone who has sustained an injury affecting their foot in the last three years may be in a position to make a claim for compensation for the pain and suffering they have endured as a result. Damages for personal injury are always assessed on the individual facts of the case and on how badly the injury has affected the Claimants life in general including their working life.

The main causes of foot injuries are:

Accidents at work – Slips, trips or falls on work premises or in the course of employment.

Building site claims - Accidents on construction sites.

Highway claims - Slips, trips and falls on public roads or foot paths.

Accidents in shops – Slips, trips and falls in shops or licensed premises.

Sports injuries – Injuries sustained whilst playing organised sports.

Types of Foot Injury Claim

Fractured Foot Compensation Claims

More usually known as a broken foot. These range from serious displaced fractures requiring surgical intervention to less serious hairline breaks. Generally these are treated with a plaster cast and back slab. Recovery can take between six to twelve weeks and it is possible that the individual may be left with some residual disability.

Sprained Foot Compensation Claims

Commonly known as soft tissue or ligament injuries. As with all injuries the symptoms vary from person to person and damages will be assessed individually depending on any residual symptoms that may exist.
