Foot injuries can have a devastating long term impact on someone's life, leaving them with permanent physical disability, requiring either the use of a wheelchair, an aid such as a walking stick. It is important to stress that the compensation you receive may vary from the amounts mentioned here, as every case is assessed on its own merits.An injury to an individual toe, whilst painful, will not normally have a major impact on someone's life, therefore compensation claims for injuries to the toes where there is a complete recovery will not normally exceed £3,500. A crushing injury, typically caused by an accident at work where something may have been dropped or may have fallen onto the toes will attract somewhere between £8,500 to £12,000 compensation. The highest level of compensation for injuries to the toes is paid out to people who have had to have toes amputated after their accident, with around £20,000 paid out if your big toe has to be removed and up to £36,000 if all of the toes on one foot have to be amputated.Even minor fractures affecting the foot can put you out of action for several weeks, an injury to the metatarsal bone, commonly broken by footballers, will usually receive somewhat less than £8,500. Where a fracture does not completely heal, then the compensation you receive would be considerably more, approaching £25,000. This level of compensation will also be paid out in cases where there have been severe burns to the feet, caused by fire, or in working environments such as kitchen, where hot oils and fats may be spilt onto the legs and feet.In the most serious accidents, where amputation may be the only treatment available, the level of compensation reflects the great pain and suffering someone in this situation will no doubt be feeling. Someone whose injuries require that one foot is amputated will be awarded around £50,000 to £70,000. At the very top end of the scale for compensation paid out to people who have suffered injuries to their feet, amputation of both feet will attract £100,000 to £125,000.
