Ankles, Feet, Toes

Ankles

The vast majority of ankle injuries are worth significantly less than £15,000.  However, compensation for this injury varies greatly. "Very Severe" injuries ( £32,000 - £44,500) are where there is "soft-tissue damage resulting in deformity that might lead to amputation".  "Moderate" injuries (£8,500 - £17,000) include cases which result in "difficulty walking on uneven ground".  "Modest" injuries (up to £8,750) are where a complete recovery is likely.

Achilles Tendon

Compensation for this injury varies from "Most Serious" ( up to £24,500) where the tendon is "severed" through to "Minor" injuries (£4,750 - £6,400) are where there is a feeling of "being unsure of ankle support".

Feet

The value of this award depends on whether both feet are lost (£108,000 - £128,500) or just one foot (£53,500 - £70,000).  Then there is a range of awards from "Very Severe" (£53,500 - £70,000) where the injury must result in "permanent and severe" pain through to "Modest" (up to £8,750) for a simple "metatarsal fracture".  Perhaps David Beckham claimed when someone stood on his foot?

Toes

The value of this award depends on whether all toes lost (£23,250 - £36,000) or just the big toe (up to £20,000).  Then there is a range of awards from "Very Severe" (£8,750 - £12,250) where the injury may have been caused by "severe crushing, but not necessarily require amputation, through to "Moderate" (up to £6,150) for a simple "fracture".
