Understanding the range
What can affect foot and toe injury compensation?
Foot injury examples range from up to £16,770 for modest injury to £206,730-£245,900 for amputation of both feet. The diagnosis is only the starting point: the evidence must show the recovery period and the effect the injury has had on the individual.
Severity, treatment and recovery
Foot and toe awards consider amputation, pain, mobility, deformity, arthritis, footwear, gait and whether surgery is likely.
Daily life and independence
Pain, movement, sleep, work, hobbies, care needs and loss of independence can all influence where an injury falls within a guideline range.
Medical and financial evidence
Independent medical evidence helps establish prognosis. Payslips, receipts, care records and expert evidence may support financial losses assessed separately from the injury award.
