Ankle, Feet & Toe Compensation Values
Ankles:
The vast majority of ankle injuries are worth significantly less than £15,000. However, compensation for this injury varies greatly. ”Very Severe” injuries (£35,750 – £49,800) are where there is “soft-tissue damage resulting in deformity that might lead to amputation”. ”Moderate” injuries (£9,800 – £19,000) include cases which result in “difficulty walking on uneven ground”. “Modest” injuries (up to £9,800) are where a complete recovery is likely.
Achilles Tendon:
Compensation for this injury varies from ”Most Serious” (up to £27,450) where the tendon is ”severed” through to “Minor” injuries (£5,180 – £9,000) are where there is a feeling of “being unsure of ankle support”.
Feet:
The value of this award depends on whether both feet are lost (£121,000 – £144,000) or just one foot (£60,000 – £78,300). Then there is a range of awards from “Very Severe” (£60,000 – £78,300) where the injury must result in “permanent and severe” pain through to “Modest” (up to £9,800) for a simple “metatarsal fracture”. Perhaps David Beckham claimed when someone stood on his foot?
Toes:
The value of this award depends on whether all toes lost (£26,100 – £40,000) or just the big toe (up to £22,350). Then there is a range of awards from “Very Severe” (£9,800 – £15,000) where the injury may have been caused by “severe crushing, but not necessarily require amputation, through to “Moderate” (up to £6,850) for a simple “fracture”.
