The most common cause of ankle injuries are [slips, trips or falls](https://firstpersonalinjury.co.uk/personal-injury/slip-trip-or-fall/). These kinds of accidents are usually a result of an obstacle or a poorly maintained floor surface (such as pavement).

## Making a Claim

Following your injury, it’s vital that you seek medical attention to determine the extent of your injuries.

Once you have done this, to stand the best chance of success in your claim contact us. We can discuss your questions such as how much compensation for ankle ligament damage? Or, how much compensation for a sprained ankle? To answer the questions that you have, we will need to talk through the specifics of your case with you and find out exactly what has happened to you. We can't guarantee what compensation you will receive as each case is unique, but we can advise if you are likely to receive compensation and we will always fight to get you the highest possible amount of compensation.

Taking into account all the details we will assess all elements of how to bring a successful claim. Most notably this will include who you will be claiming against and whether that person (or organisation) was legally at fault for the accident causing your injuries.

## How Much Compensation?

The level of compensation you may be awarded for an ankle injury will depend on the actual injury you have suffered (pain and suffering) and its severity. This amount will also depend on how your injury has impacted your day-to-day life and the length of your recovery.

Initially, your solicitor will obtain a medical report from a specialist medical expert. This will set out the extent of the injuries you have suffered. The report will also provide a medical prognosis of your condition detailing your predicted recovery time and anticipated care needs.

Once they have established the value of your injury, your solicitor will look at your financial losses. In doing so, they will calculate the special damages of your claim. This will take into consideration any additional losses you have experienced as a result of your injury. These could include loss of earnings, medical expenses and travel expenses.
