The ankle is a joint that is highly susceptible to injury given its constant movement; it is flexible and can move in a number of ways, which helps us when walking on uneven ground. As the ankle joint takes the full weight of the body and is put under great pressure when we run and jump, it is all too common to suffer ankle injuries. One of the most common ankle injuries is an inversion sprain, but there are a great number of ways in which the ankle can be injured.
On the more severe end of the spectrum, a broken, fractured or dislocated ankle causes great pain, ongoing medical care and lengthy recovery. Just as for knee injuries, the ligaments of the ankle can be strained or torn which is also very painful, as is torn cartilage of the ankle. Even if you sprain, bruise or twist your ankle, not only is it painful, but these less serious injuries still impact your mobility and therefore your lifestyle. All of these factors will be taken into consideration when you put in a claim for personal injury compensation for an ankle injury that was suffered in an accident that was not your fault.
Accidents at work are a common cause of ankle injuries, particularly workplaces such as factories, kitchens and warehouses where goods are lifted, moved or left around. Slips, trips and falls in public places also give rise to a good number of personal injury claims, as do sports injuries. No matter how you injured your ankle, if it was through no fault of your own contact us to discuss your eligibility for compensation.
