If you injure your foot, ankle or toe in an accident that wasn't your fault, you could claim compensation.
Your foot is made up of the ankle bone (talus) and heel bone (calcaneus), together with navicular, cuneiform and metatarsal connecting bones. Toe bones are known as phalanges.
Injuries to toes, feet and ankles are often caused by sports, dance and other hobbies, especially where children are concerned. But they can also be the result of a road traffic accident, through an accident at work, or even a slip, trip or fall where someone has been negligent.
Injuries include:
Injuries to toes, feet and ankles are quite common and usually fairly minor. But more serious damage – particularly in the case of amputation - causes mobility problems and permanent disability, requiring surgery and time off work. It’s a that point you might have to start considering the financial implications.
Claiming compensation can mean you don’t have to worry about the financial pressures of medical costs, recuperation, prescriptions, travel to hospital and loss of earnings.

We are here to assess your situation and guide you through the claim process. Our advisors will go through what has happened with you, free of charge, then assess whether you are likely to have a claim.
If you’re happy to proceed, we allocate a specialist personal injury solicitor to deal with your claim. We offer a No Win No Fee service, so you don't have to pay for anything in advance – and if the claim is not successful, you don't pay at all.
Only pay a fee if you receive compensation
Our No Win No Fee solicitors will take a success fee from the compensation you are awarded for a successful claim in the form of a percentage of your damages. This could be up to 25% but it won't be more than that, except in cases of road traffic accidents. Changing laws mean our solicitors will now take a payment of 30% of the final compensation amount plus VAT for all road traffic accident claims.
