Ankles, Feet, Toes

Ankles

The vast majority of ankle injuries are worth significantly less than £12,500. However, compensation for this injury varies greatly. "Very Severe" injuries ( £29,000 - £40,750) are where there is "soft-tissue damage resulting in deformity that might lead to amputation". "Moderate" injuries (£7,625 - £15,500) include cases which result in "difficulty walking on uneven ground". "Modest" injuries (up to £7,500) are where a complete recovery is likely.

Achilles Tendon

Compensation for this injury varies from "Most Serious" ( up to £22,900) where the tendom is "severedt" hrough to "Minor" injuries (£4,000 - £5,500) 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 (£98,500 - £117,000) or just one foot (£48,850 - £63,625). Then there is a range of awards from "Very Severe" (£48,850 - £63,625) where the injury must result in "permanent and severe" pain through to "Modest" (up to £8,150) 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 (£21,350 - £32,800) or just the big toe (up to £18,325).  Then there is a range of awards from "Very Severe" (£7,500 - £10,500) where the injury may have been caused by "severe crushing, but not necessarily require amputation, through to "Moderate" (up to £5,600) for a simple "fracture".
