What can affect the value of a foot injury compensation claim?

As there are many factors to consider in a foot injury claim, each case is unique. This makes it impossible to state an average compensation payout for foot injuries, or any type of personal injury claim. For a more severe foot injury, such as a crushed foot injury, you could claim significantly more than for less severe injuries, of which there are many types. 

The compensation you receive will depend not only on the severity of your injury itself, but also the costs you have incurred as a result of your injury. 

For example, you could find that in addition to requiring a significant period of rest for the injury to heal, you may also need to:

• Take time off work
• Purchase corrective footwear
• Invest in specialist equipment such as crutches or a wheelchair
• Make adaptations to your home to aid your recovery

Am I Eligible to Claim Compensation for a Foot Injury?

You may be eligible to claim compensation for a foot injury if you have been injured as a result of someone else's negligence. This could be in various circumstances such as during work, on the road or at a public place. The primary consideration is that the injury must have been caused by the fault or negligence of another person or entity, and not entirely due to your own actions.

The injury must have had a significant impact on your life, causing pain, suffering, loss of amenity, or financial loss.

It is important to consult with an experienced personal injury solicitor who can assess your case and provide professional advice on whether you have a valid claim.

What Evidence Do I Need to Make a Foot Injury Compensation Claim?

To make a successful foot injury compensation claim, it is necessary to gather a comprehensive range of evidence to prove that someone else was at fault for your injury. The following forms of evidence can be helpful in supporting your claim:

• Medical records: these records can substantiate the extent and severity of your injury, the treatment you have undergone, and the potential long-term effects. They are usually obtained from the hospital or clinic where you received treatment.
• Accident reports: if your injury occurred in a place of work or public area, it is likely that an accident report was filed. This report can be instrumental in providing details about the incident.
• Witness statements: if there were witnesses to the accident, their testimonies can provide an independent account of what happened. Contact details of any witnesses should be collected at the time of the accident, if possible.
• Photographs and video footage: visual evidence such as photographs or video footage can be very powerful in demonstrating the circumstances that led to your injury. This might include photographs of where the accident occurred, any hazards that were present, and the injuries themselves.
• Diary entries: keeping a diary of your recovery can help document the impact of the injury on your everyday life. This can include details of your pain levels, any difficulties with mobility, and the impact on your ability to work or carry out daily activities.
• Financial evidence: to claim for any financial loss or expenses incurred as a result of your foot injury, you will need to provide evidence. This could include receipts for medical treatment or rehabilitation, travel expenses to and from medical appointments, or evidence of lost income if you have been unable to work.

Collecting the right evidence is a crucial part of making a foot injury compensation claim. Our team of expert foot injury claims solicitors can guide you through this process and help you gather the necessary evidence to strengthen your claim.

Is There a Time Limit for Making a Foot Injury Claim?

There is a time limit for making a personal injury claim, including foot injuries, in the UK. Generally, you have three years from the date of the injury or from the date you became aware of the injury to bring forward a claim. This is known as the 'limitation period'. After this period, your claim will usually be considered 'statute-barred' or out of time under the Limitation Act 1980.

There are, however, some exceptions to this rule. For example, if the injured person is a child, the three-year time limit does not begin until their 18th birthday. Furthermore, if the injured person lacks mental capacity, there may not be a time limit for bringing a claim.

The time limit can also be extended in some circumstances, such as in cases involving industrial diseases, which may not become apparent until many years after exposure to the harmful substance.

It is advisable to seek legal advice as soon as possible after the injury occurred to ensure that your claim is made within the time limit.

Can I Make a No Win, No Fee Personal Injury Claim?

At JMW Solicitors, we handle all of our personal injury claims, including those for foot injuries, on a 'no win, no fee' basis. This means that if your claim is not successful, you will not need to pay our legal fees.

A 'no win, no fee' agreement, officially known as a Conditional Fee Agreement, is designed to help those who might not have the funds to pursue a claim. If your claim is successful, the majority of your legal costs will be recovered from the other side. Any legal costs not recoverable from the other side will be deducted from the compensation you receive.

Our solicitors will fully explain how the 'no win, no fee' agreement works and answer any questions you may have before we proceed with your claim. It is our goal to make the process as straightforward and stress-free as possible for you.
