\"\"Any bodily injury can be a pain to live with. Certain injuries will always be more of an inconvenience to people than others \u2013 for example, as is the topic of this article, foot injuries.<\/p>\n

If you injure your foot, you are likely to end up with considerable issues walking around. Your mobility is restricted, meaning your independence is compromised<\/em><\/strong> and your quality of life can be seriously reduced<\/em><\/strong>. Just imagine trying to get upstairs to use the bathroom or go to bed when you can\u2019t actually walk right – Sounds painful; all of them stairs. Imagine trying to prepare a meal whilst hopping around the kitchen, complete with steak knife in one hand and your sirloin sizzling in the oil on the gas hob \u2013 sounds rather dangerous, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

Normally people who end up with a foot injury that causes any difficulty walking will require some form of care and assistance<\/em><\/strong> from a householder, friend or relative. So there is that to take in to account, on top of the fact that commuting to work may be made somewhat difficult if you can\u2019t drive with the injury to the foot.
\n
\nThe point I\u2019m getting at is that it\u2019s difficult to comprehend the sorts of troubles you might face with what may seem like such a trivial injury until you end up suffering it yourself; which is why we are able to win claims for compensation<\/a> for victims who have suffered from injuries that cause enough pain, suffering, and loss of amenity to their lives.<\/p>\n

You can twist your ankle or break any part of the complex system of bone and tendons that make up your foot and ankle simply by slipping on a wet floor<\/em><\/strong>, or tripping over a hazard at work<\/a>, or stumbling in a pothole in the street. In instances where the accident was not your fault and the blame lies with a company or another person, you are entitled to make a claim for compensation<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What Can You Claim For?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, firstly, you are entitled to a sum that covers the pain and suffering<\/em><\/strong> you have had to endure for the injury itself. This is usually dependant on the length and severity of the suffering<\/em><\/strong> you personally have to go through. We normally calculate this by sending you to see a medical expert who will examine you and prepare a report to confirm the extent of the pain and suffering<\/em><\/strong> endured. Your individually circumstances are of course taken in to account \u2013 e.g. a person who is active and fit, regularly using the gym and cycling to work, is impacted more than a person who spends most of their free time in front of the TV with a takeout and their feet up (to use a clich\u00e9d and rather broad example!)<\/p>\n

Lost earnings from being unable to work<\/em><\/strong> is also taken in to account \u2013 as well as travel expenses<\/em><\/strong> if you have to use taxis or the bus service to get to work because walking or cycling is made difficult due to the injury. You should always keep receipts and tickets <\/em><\/strong>for that sort of thing as evidence to allow us to include it in your claim. Travel expenses to and from medical appointments or for physio and treatment is also included.<\/p>\n

I touched earlier on the need for care and assistance. For example, a householder assisting with chores, meal preparation, shopping, etc<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 all tasks which are made difficult through being unable to walk properly (or at all) for lengthy periods of time. As I said early, you don\u2019t want to be risking your safety by cooking on one leg! We can include a claim for care and assistance<\/em><\/strong> in which we can recover a sum as an hourly rate for the carer\u2019s time in helping you. Even if you haven\u2019t actually paid your spouse, son, friend, relative, or whatever they are for the help, the carers claim is still included. Make sure you keep a note of what help you have had, when, for how long, and how often<\/em><\/strong>. We can then recover a sum for the carer for the claim.<\/p>\n

Medical Care<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Normally an injury that puts you off your feet for a period of time requires physiotherapy<\/em><\/strong> or some form of rehabilitation<\/em><\/strong> to help you get back to the way you were prior to the accident. We can actually include private physio of medical help that can be recovered as part of the claim. The other side has a duty to help you get back to normal as quickly and efficiently as possible. If this means paying for private care, then so be it.<\/p>\n
