Ankle Injury Compensation
Over 50,000 people suffer an ankle injury every year in Australia requiring numerous different treatments including braces, plaster casts or surgery. Dependent on the cause, circumstances and location it may be possible to make an ankle injury compensation claim against a negligent third party responsible for causing the accident.
No Win No Pay
If you have suffered an ankle injury, you may be entitled to make an ankle injury compensation claim for all financial losses directly attributable to the accident including loss of past and future earnings, pain and suffering, disadvantage on the job market, loss of congenial employment, loss of lifestyle, medical aids, charges and prescriptions. An ankle injury compensation claim must be made within three years of the accident and most lawyers will deal with the matter using the no win no pay scheme.
Trip Slip & Fall
If you have suffered an ankle injury through a trip, slip or fall, the owner or occupier of the premises or land where the accident occurred could be held liable in negligence to pay you compensation. For example, if you slipped and fell in the changing rooms at your local sports centre due to a spillage that was not mopped up, you could be entitled to claim compensation against the sports facility for failing to ensure that the premises were reasonably safe. Ankle injuries frequently occur whilst playing contact sports and it is possible to make a sports injury compensation claim against another player's club or association provided it can be demonstrated that the player who caused the injury was reckless or negligent or that the state of the pitch or facility was such that an injury was likely to occur.
Accident at Work
An ankle injury compensation claim can be made following an accident at work against an employer who fails to meet obligations under health and safety regulations. If an ankle injury occurs due to a trip slip or fall at work as a result of negligence on the part of the employer, they may be held liable. Industrial accidents resulting in ankle injuries commonly occur due to an unsafe working environment, dangerous or faulty equipment or a lack of sufficient training or supervision.
