Leg & Foot Injury Claims

A leg injury claim is for injury to the leg anywhere from the hip to the ankle. If you suffer a leg injury like a tibia break in a football match, a nasty cut in a fall or even have a leg amputated after a car crash, you might be able to pursue a claim for compensation.

Any personal injury can have an impact on your life, and it is not any different with a leg injury. You may need time off work, pay expensive medical bills and even make adaptations to your home or car. In some serious cases, you may need to employ part-time or full-time care around the home.

You may have a leg injury claim for compensation if you were injured in an accident that was not your fault.

A no win no fee personal injury claim can take your claim to seek the damages you deserve for the leg injury.

A foot injury claim is for an injury to the foot anywhere from the ankle to the toes. Foot injury claims are often for a bad break, amputation of the toes, amputation of the foot or lacerations.

Your foot injury claim could arise from a road traffic accident, an accident at the gym or a slip, trip or fall whilst out. A foot injury can make movement difficult, and you may have problems driving, getting to work and exercising. 

A foot injury claim for compensation is when you are injured in an accident that was not your fault and wish to pursue a compensation claim to compensate you for the injury and any resulting financial losses. 

Your No Win No Fee personal injury solicitor can fight your claim and win you the compensation you deserve.

Common leg injury claims may come from road traffic accidents, workplace injuries, and anywhere you have an accident that was not your fault. A leg injury can have a financial impact on your life, and you might have a claim for leg injury compensation. 

Common leg injury claims:

A workplace accident leg injury claim can be for a crush injury from an object falling from a height or when you catch your leg in an unguarded machine. 

Other workplace accident leg injury claims can be for breaking a leg in a slip on a wet floor or bad lacerations, bruises and strained muscles in a fall down stairs.

A public area accident leg injury claim is for an accident that was not your fault in the pub, restaurant and any place open to the public.

You may have a claim for compensation if you cut your calf on broken glass in the pub or fall and twist your knee on a wet floor in the restaurant bathrooms.

A local authority accident leg injury claim is for an accident in areas under the council’s control. You might trip over a root in the local park and snap a tendon or break your leg falling off your bike when it hits a pothole. 

If your public accident was not your fault, you could have a claim for compensation.

A road traffic accident leg injury claim can be for a crush injury in a collision or severe lacerations when hit by another car pulling out onto a busy road. 

Severe leg injuries, such as multiple breaks and amputation, are often seen in car accidents, and you might have a claim for injury.

Schoolyard accident leg injury claims can happen if a child is left unsupervised or if the schoolyard is poorly maintained. A child can trip on a broken paving stone and pull a muscle or fall off a wall, breaking their leg. 

You could have a claim for compensation if your child has a schoolyard accident leg injury that was not their fault.

Foot injury claims may be for injuries that are not your fault when at work or if you fall on a broken pavement on the way to meet friends. You might have a claim for compensation if your bruised foot, broken ankle or deep cut on the sole of your foot was caused by someone else’s negligence. 

Common foot injury claims:

A cut foot from broken glass on a dancefloor which has not been cleared might be a claim for foot injury compensation. You might have a claim if you cut your foot when wearing open sandals at a bar where a broken bottle is left on the floor by staff. 

A cut foot may take time to heal, and you may even need hospital treatment.

Having a toe amputated in a car accident is not unusual, especially for a driver with their foot stuck under the pedal. The impact of a car collision may have a devastating effect on the driver and passengers, and losing one or more toes is a common injury. 

If a foot injury accident was not your fault, you could have a claim for injury.

A snapped ligament on a football pitch can be a claim for compensation if the pitch is unsuitable for play, but the match goes ahead. You may also snap a ligament or do further damage to the foot in an illegal tackle during play. 

A snapped ligament may need time in hospital and will take months to heal.

A broken ankle in a poorly maintained gym happens when equipment is available for use which has not been serviced, or the floor is uneven in places. 

The gym owner owes the users a duty of care, and you might have a claim for compensation if you injure your foot in an accident that was not your fault.

A burn injury to the foot at work can happen when working with warm materials or in the kitchen of a busy restaurant. Hot oil can spill from the fryer, or a boiling kettle may fall off the canteen counter.

You might be able to claim compensation for a burn injury to the foot that was not your fault.

Compensation for leg injury claims ranges from the low £1,000s to more than £200,000 in the more serious claims. You may have a claim for leg injury compensation if your leg is injured in an accident that was not your fault.
