Foot Injury Claim & Tendon Injury Compensation Claims

What causes Foot Injuries at Work?

Foot Injuries at work can result from many things.

These may include:

• Lack of personal protection equipment
• Sporting injuries at work
• Ladder accidents

Identifying the type of injury to the foot you have sustained and in what way it has impacted your ability to perform your daily activities or to earn a living can be significant to the accomplishment of your shoulder injury compensation claim.

Physiology of Foot Injury

Burn injuries: Injuries to the skin caused by heat, electricity, radiation or chemicals.

Tendon injuries: The muscles in the Foot are joined to the bone by Tendons, these are generally caused by a piercing injury and can result in serious functional loss.

Joint injuries: Dislocations and sprains of the joints in the foot can happen after a sport injury or fall.

Sprains/ Strain: A sprain is an injury to the tissues neighbouring and supporting a joint.

Dislocation: This is when the surfaces are no longer connected, thus it is the complete misplacement of the joint surfaces. Symptoms of this include tenderness, swelling, deformity and a decreased range of motion.

Nerve injuries: These injuries in the ankle or foot can lead to total loss of function in these areas and can take a time to mend.

Foot Fractures: A fracture is a break in the bone. Fractures in the foot are one of the most common types of foot injuries.Symptoms include: tenderness, swelling, deformity and a decreased range of motion.

Metatarsal Injury: There are five metatarsal bones, these are the long bones of the midfoot, a fracture to the metatarsal occurs when one of these long bones is broken. This injury can occur from something as simple as twisting your foot when stepping unevenly or may occur from more violent injuries such as a fall, work accident, or car accident that crush the metatarsals.

Soft tissue injury: Soft tissue injuries are injuries to the ligaments, tendons and fibres that connect the bones.

Amputations: An amputation is the most serious foot injury which results in the surgical removal of the foot.

How much could you claim for a Foot Injury?

Compensation can be claimed for minor wounds such as bruising, cuts and sprains as well as severe injuries such as broken bones, torn ligaments and frost bite, where everyday life of the victim has been affected due to an accident which was not their fault. Money claimed can be put towards medical costs, loss of wages and rehabilitation.
