Broken Ankle Compensation
Compensation for ankle injuries, including breaks and sprains, will vary significantly. Where there is convincing evidence to support the argument that someone else caused your injury, how much your award for broken ankle compensation is will depend on the gravity of your personal injury.
We will also look at whether you will need extensive medical treatment in order to heal. We work on a no win, no fee * basis, and offer free phone consultations to all callers — which are 100% confidential and no-obligation.
How Much Compensation for a Broken Ankle?
You should keep in mind that any award for compensation will reflect your circumstances. However, it is not unusual for minor ankle injuries to attract up to £10,000 in compensation. More complicated injuries, e.g. ligaments tears, could potentially yield between £10,000 and £20,000.
Broken ankles that result in any deformities or permanently restrict ankle movement have been known to result in compensation awards of £50,000 or more. As well as a sum reflecting your injury, you are also able to claim for additional damages, such as loss of wages.
Regardless of the kind of injury that you suffer, the strength of your claim will depend on the available evidence to support it and the ability of your legal team to use this to its greatest effect.
Compensation Awards for Ankle Injuries
Here are some further examples, which show how much compensation might be due for certain bandings of ankle injuries. These are for guideline purposes only. We won’t be able to properly estimate your broken ankle compensation until you have called us for your free telephone consultation.
- Ankle sprain with complete recovery – If you recover from a sprained ankle within 12 months, and suffer no instability or future risks and pain, then you could be due up to £3,600
- Incomplete recovery of your ankle injury – Serious injuries, like a broken ankle, with ongoing discomfort and pain see average compensation amounts in the UK ranging from £3,600 to £9,000.
- Significant disability – Those people who end up with a disability after an ankle injury will receive significantly larger amounts that could range from £9,000 to £50,000.
How much compensation you will receive and when can vary, but we try to run the legal process as quickly as we possibly can. In most cases, we will be dealing directly with insurance companies, who themselves want to resolve matters quickly. But, rest assured, we will only settle for the largest amount of compensation possible for your broken ankle.
How Much Compensation for a Sprained Ankle?
Whilst it’s usually less than a broken ankle, compensation for sprained ankles can range dramatically due to complications and your personal circumstances. Our solicitors ** will always work to seek the maximum compensation amounts for our clients, because we know how much of an impact any injury to the ankle bones and ligaments can have on your life. We will take into account factors including, but not limited to:
- Being unable to drive
- Inability to walk
- Extreme pain
- Trouble sleeping
- Difficulty taking care of children
- Decrease in physical fitness
- Time off work
- Loss of earnings
- Painful medical procedures
- Physiotherapy, if needed
All of these factors, plus any financial losses — such as medical care — will be looked into. This means that we get a holistic view of your life, and the impact that the accident has had on your well-being. We can then come up with what we believe is a fair and just compensation amount.
So when you call our experts and ask them how much compensation you could be due for a broken ankle, or a sprained ankle, make sure that you tell us as much as possible. Knowing the what, how, and when allows us to put the necessary processes in place to benefit you and your claim.
We are confident that when you call us to ask how much compensation you’ll receive for a broken or sprained ankle, we will be able to assign you the best solicitor ** for your situation.
