What is a foot injury?
The foot is one of the most complex skeletal structures in the body, comprising of 26 different bones. It has many muscles, soft tissues and joints that allow flexibility and help us to walk, run and jump. As we use our feet on a daily basis, any foot injury can be hard to ignore and can result in periods of immobility and time off work.
Foot injuries are not only skeletal, we frequently handle claims involving tears to the Achilles tendon, ruptured or torn ligaments as well as lacerations, degloving of the heels and traumatic amputations.
How can foot injuries be caused?
A foot injury can happen in many settings, but some environments pose more risk than others. Accidents at work — particularly in warehouses, construction sites, and manufacturing facilities — often lead to serious foot injuries from crushing, falling heavy objects, or being caught in machinery. These same environments also commonly result in ankle injuries, which can be equally painful and just as disruptive to your life and work.
Not all foot and ankle injuries happen in the workplace. Slipping or tripping in public places — for example, on uneven pavement or wet shop floors — can also cause broken bones, ligament damage or long-term mobility issues. If you’ve suffered a foot or ankle injury and someone else was to blame, you may be entitled to claim compensation.

How is injury compensation calculated?
General Damages
General Damages relate to the physical and emotional effects of your foot injury. They may cover:
- Pain and discomfort at the time of the accident
- Ongoing pain, limited mobility, or long-term discomfort
- Loss of ability to walk, exercise, or carry out everyday tasks
These damages reflect the overall impact of the injury on your lifestyle and well-being.
Special Damages
Special Damages account for the financial costs associated with your injury, such as:
- Loss of earnings due to time off work
- Medical treatment and rehabilitation expenses
- Adjustments to your home or vehicle to aid mobility
- Damage to personal property
- Costs of ongoing care or support
Both General and Special Damages are considered together to calculate your total compensation for a foot injury claim.
