How Much Compensation For A Broken Ankle
A broken ankle can prevent you from taking part in many everyday activities including being able to work. Most broken ankle injuries can put a stop to your physical abilities on a temporary basis. Sometimes, the injury can leave you with lasting damage.
If a third party has caused your accident then it’s possible you can make a personal injury claim. The amount of compensation you will receive depends mainly on the extent of your injury.
Compensation Amounts For Broken Ankle Injuries
Below are some common kinds of broken ankle injuries which will provide an indication of how much compensation for a broken ankle.
Type of broken ankle injury |
Potential compensation |
| A modest ankle injury, where there has been a minor displaced fracture, sprain or ligament injury. | Up to £9,800 (Compensation amounts will depend on whether or not you have made a full recovery or if you have been left with permanent weakness, scarring or discomfort.) |
| Modest ankle injury where there is a complete recovery | Up to £5,500 (lower amounts are granted for injuries which have been resolved within a short period of time) |
