Accidents that can cause leg injuries:

• An accident at work such as falling from a height on a construction site, slipping on a wet floor or suffering a strain while lifting heavy items
• Car or motorbike road traffic accidents
• Sporting accidents such as a bad tackle in a football or rugby match can often cause leg injuries

Leg injuries include simple fractures to the tibia, fibula or femur. Extreme cases could be permanent disability or leg amputation.

Leg injury compensation amounts:

Severe leg injury compensation claims can be up to £185,000 for leg amputation above the knee. Solicitors look at case law and guidance from the Judicial Studies Board, which publishes tables of likely compensation. No two cases are the same and individual circumstances have to be taken into account.

• Minor leg injury including fracture of tibia or fibula: up to £6,000 leg injury compensation.
• Severe leg injuries: up to £89,000 leg injury compensation.
• Fractures where recovery is incomplete: up to £14,000 leg injury compensation.
• Permanent disability including loss of leg: up to £185,000 leg injury compensation.

Compensation for leg injury claims can also be awarded for loss of earnings, both past and future if the injury is serious enough to prevent you working again and for associated losses such as medication, and treatments like physiotherapy or psychological help.
