If you suffer any kind of ankle injury in an accident that wasn’t your fault you may be eligible to claim compensation.

Slips Trips and falls: Slips, trips and falls are one of the most common causes of ankle injuries.Whether you slip on a wet floor in a supermarket or over an object left lying around you may be able to claim ankle injury compensation. Remember, organisations such as local councils or supermarkets have a legal responsibility to ensure things like walkways and pavements can be navigated safely by staff and customers alike.
Accidents at Work: Accidents at work are also a major cause of ankle injury compensation claims. If you injure your ankle at work in an accident that wasn’t your fault you could well be eligible for compensation. The sort of work accidents that lead to ankle injuries are falls from height, being hit by falling objects or accidents involving machinery.
Road Traffic Accidents: Ankles are routinely injured during road traffic accidents. Whether you are a driver, passenger or pedestrian injured in a traffic accident, if you were not at fault then you could be entitled to make an ankle injury compensation claim.
Sports Injuries: While ankle injuries are an occupational hazard of playing sport, if you are injured as a result of the negligent actions of another person you may be entitled to claim compensation. If you have suffered any kind of ankle injury that wasn’t your fault, contact Tylers Solicitors today to begin your claim for compensation.
What are the Main Types of Ankle Injury?
Ankle injuries come in all different shapes and sizes some of which are much more severe and debilitating than others. Some of the most common types of ankle injury include:
Sprains: The majority of ankle sprains are the result of going over on or rolling your ankle often caused by running on uneven surfaces or landing awkwardly. When this happens your ligaments become stretched.
Ligament Damage: Ligament tears are another common type of ankle injury, often caused in the same way as sprains. This type of injury is much more severe often resulting in the need for surgery.
Broken Ankles: Ankle injuries can sometimes result in fractures of the bones comprising the ankle joint. Many of these fractures can be treated without casting.
Stress fractures: Develop over time as a result of overuse of the ankle.
Whatever type of ankle injury you suffer you could be entitled to claim compensation to compensate you for the pain and suffering you are experiencing. Contact the team here at Tylers today to get your ankle injury claim started.
What Does an Ankle Injury Compensation Claim Cover ?
Personal injury claims are divided into two distinct categories. The first category is general damages, which pertain directly to the injury itself. This portion of your claim addresses the pain and suffering you have endured, as well as any loss of amenity, which refers to how the injury has negatively impacted your quality of life. Consequently, the amount awarded for general damages will be influenced by the severity of your pain, suffering, and loss of amenity.
The second category encompasses special damages, which aim to reimburse you for any financial losses incurred due to the injury. Often termed ‘out of pocket expenses,’ these damages cover costs you have already faced as well as those you might encounter in the future. Examples of such expenses include:
- Loss of earnings
- Additional medical treatments required now or in the future
- Medical aids, equipment, or adaptations
- Loss of property
- Travel expenses

What Should You Do If You Suffer an Ankle Injury That Wasn’t your Fault?
If you injure your ankle and are looking to make a claim for compensation, then there are a few things you can do to ensure you maximise the amount of compensation you receive. The first thing to do is ensure you report the injury to the relevant people. If your injury is the result of an accident at work then you must make an entry in the accident book.
Once you have done this you should visit either hospital accident and emergency or your GP to have the injury assessed. This is because medical reports will form a major part of the evidence used by your legal representatives when submitting your claim.
You should also speak to anyone who witnessed the incident and get their contact details as well as asking them if they would be prepared to make a statement. The thing to remember is that the more evidence you can provide to support your claim the better your chances of getting the ankle injury section you deserve.
If you want to get more information on the types of evidence you need to help with your claim contact the team here at Tylers solicitors today.
