Foot Injury Claims

If you have been injured in the last three years, and it wasn’t your fault, you may be able to claim compensation. The amount you are able to claim depends on the type and severity of your injury. Personal Injury Claims Aberdeen can help you get the compensation you are entitled to. Our compensation guide outlines the levels of compensation for some of the most common types of injury.

Foot Injury Compensation

Injuries to the feet are less common than injuries to other parts of the leg but can be just as serious. Your foot is a delicate collection of bones and ligaments and can be injured by tripping or falling, or by impact as a result of something falling on or crushing them. This is often the case with work-related injuries.

Loss of both feet can be just as serious as losing your legs and the law reflects this in the compensation it awards.

Amputation of both feet – £111,000, £132,000

Amputation of one foot – £55,000 – £72,000

Very severe foot injuries

£55,000 – £72,000

Injuries within this bracket will cause permanent, severe pain and serious permanent disability.

Severe

£30,000 – £44,200

Fractures of both feet or heels with a substantial reduction in mobility. This level may also be awarded for exceptionally serious injuries to both feet.

Serious

£16,400 – £25,750

The top end of this bracket is reserved for serious injuries which cause permanent disfigurement and cause permanent pain or irritation.

Moderate

Up to £16,400

This category is a wide one, and is reserved for less serious injuries. Simple fractures, ligament damage and ongoing symptoms such as pain and limping are within this bracket. If recovery is completed within a year an award of up to £4,350 will be made.
