Common Types of Ankle Injuries
Most kinds of ankle injury are capable of attracting some level of financial compensation if they were caused by someone else’s negligence. The most common types of ankle injury include:
- Sprains – where the muscles and tendons that surround the bones in the ankle are overstretched. Sprains tend to be identifiable by a degree of pain and significant swelling around the ankle. While most sprains are relatively quick to heal, severe sprains can result in some ligaments being torn, requiring specialist medical attention to repair.
- Fractures and Crushed Bones – these tend to be much more painful than an ankle sprain. Their severity is indicated by the damage done to the ankle bone. A clean fracture of the ankle bone is painful but easier to repair, while a comminuted fracture – where the ankle bone is shattered to some extent – can be excruciating and will warrant a prolonged period of medical attention to repair.
- Dislocation – dislocation of the ankle is not an uncommon injury. It is where the bones that make up the ankle are forced apart. This, in turn, causes trauma to the surrounding tissue, e.g. muscles and tendons. Dislocation of your ankle is very painful and, in severe cases, can take a long time to heal.
Common Reasons People Make Ankle Injury Claims
Ankle injuries, regardless of their gravity, are painful and could attract compensation. However, there is one caveat: the injury that you suffer to your ankle must have been caused by the actions or omissions of someone else. There are a variety of different examples of when ankle injury claims can be made, including:
- Your employer fails to keep the work environment free of hazards, e.g. electrical wires trailing across the office floor causing you to trip and fall. Employers owe an obligation to protect their employees’ safety and could be required to compensation you for your injury; or,
- Walking on an uneven surface that causes you to stumble and sprain/ twist your ankle. The local authority is responsible for maintaining all public spaces, and may be liable to make a compensation payment to you if they have not maintained the condition of pavements and roads.
It could be that you were involved in an accident at work, perhaps a car crash, or maybe a slip, trip, or fall. No matter what the circumstances are, we are confident that when you call us we will put you at ease, and quickly be able to tell you whether you have a case that we believe could be won.
The average compensation for an ankle injury is very much dependent on the circumstances of the accident. There are implications for you financially, which is why you need to speak to use for an accurate quote for how much compensation for broken ankle claims.
Any Ankle Injury Claim Should Be Taken Seriously
The importance of your ankle to your body should not be underestimated. It bears a significant amount of your body weight, providing you with stability as you move around. The problem with injuries to the ankle is that any breach in its integrity could have serious implications for your ability to walk, which can have serious consequences on how you live your life.
Ankle injuries, whether they are small sprains and twists or severe fractures and breakages, can be very painful and require an extended period of time to recover from, impeding your independence and ability to work. Ultimately, any impairment of your mobility can have a disastrous impact on you.
Unfortunately, your ankles are constantly vulnerable to damage. Injuries to the ankle can happen in the workplace, in public places, or as a result of a road traffic accident. Even a simple trip or stumble can be enough to cause the Achilles tendon in the ankle to suffer some degree of trauma.
Most ankle injuries stem from your being forced into an awkward position suddenly. Think of when you stumble on an uneven surface: your body expects to move in a particular way but because of the surface it is forced to adapt, straining your ankle. The same is also true where you slip on a wet floor, or trip over objects that should not have been in your way.
Therefore, any ankle injury claim deserves the proper attention. Our no win, no fee * solicitors ** will ensure that you stand the best chance of success, and get the justice that you deserve.
