Leg and knee injuries can severely impact your mobility, independence, and ability to work. Whether you slipped at work, were hit by a car, or suffered a sports injury due to negligence, you have a right to claim for your pain and financial losses.

Types of Leg Injuries

Fractures (Breaks)

Breaks to the Femur (thigh), Tibia (shin), or Fibula. Often require pins, plates, or external fixation.

Ligament Tears

Ruptured ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) or MCL injuries causing instability and weakness.

Meniscus Damage

Torn cartilage in the knee joint, often requiring arthroscopic surgery to trim or repair.

Knee Replacement

Severe trauma leading to the need for an artificial knee joint earlier in life than normal.

Future Osteoarthritis

A joint fracture or ligament tear significantly increases the risk of developing arthritis 10-20 years later. We ensure your compensation includes an amount for this future risk and potential surgery costs.

Rehabilitation & Mobility

Private Physio Funding

Recovering from a leg injury requires intensive physiotherapy. We claim for the cost of private treatment so you don't have to wait on NHS lists. We can also claim for mobility scooters, crutches, and stairlifts if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I claim if I can't drive?

Yes. If your leg injury stops you from driving, we can claim for taxi costs, public transport expenses, or the cost of hiring an automatic vehicle if that allows you to drive.

What if I was injured playing sports?

You can claim if the injury was caused by negligence, such as a dangerous tackle that broke the rules, a poorly maintained pitch, or faulty gym equipment. You cannot claim for a pure accident.

Will I have to go to court?

It is very unlikely. 95% of claims settle out of court. We gather medical evidence to prove the severity of your knee or leg injury so the insurer pays the correct amount early.
