Leg injuries draw some of the the highest value compensation, due to the loss of mobility which can often lead to lower employment prospects in the case of long term injuries. Our expert personal injury lawyers in Scotland have reclaimed thousands in compensation for our clients, on a no-win, no-fee basis.

The severest form of leg injuries result in the amputation of all or part of one or both legs. Awards for these injuries depend on the place of amputation, and degree of post-op complications such as phantom pains and the ease with which a prosthesis can be fitted. Awards go up the higher the amputation occurs, and also if both legs are affected.

Of course, claims can be made for less drastic leg injuries too, including:

• Serious flesh wounds
• Injuries resulting in shortening of the leg
• Bone grafts in the leg, knee or ankle
• Joint, ligament or tendon injuries
• Fractures in the leg, knee or ankle
• Dislocation of the knee
• Twisting, bruising or lacerations of the knee
• Leg injuries requiring lengthy treatment, time off work or permanent damage
• Injuries causing deformity, reduction of movement , arthritis, a permanent limp, discomfort or worsening of a pre-existing condition.
