Does It Matter How My Toe Was Injured?

In general, it doesn’t matter how your injury was caused. It only matters that the accident was someone else’s fault and that you were injured as a result of what happened. Toe injuries can be caused through a wide variety of accidents and we can help you make a toe injury claim irrespective of how it happened. Personal injury solicitors talk about an accident not being your fault. Know that we don’t always mean it in the same way as you might when talking to friends. For example, if you carry a heavy item at home and drop it, leading to a toe injury, you might say that it is your own fault or that you are ‘clumsy’. In a legal setting, however, you dropping something heavy doesn’t consider your fault. For example, if your boss asks you to carry something that is too heavy for you, or has not given you protective gloves to make the carrying task easier and safer. They are likely to be ‘liable’ for your injury, which is the legal term for being at fault. Similarly, if your job requires you to carry heavy items and they don’t give you steel toe cap boots. Your employer may be negligent. Because you dropping a heavy item on your toe is likely to happen at some point. In either of those two examples, you would be able to make a toe injury claim for compensation. This is your employer’s fault’, even if you may privately still feel a little clumsy.

Common 9 causes of toe injuries that can lead to a toe injury claim for compensation include:

  1. A heavy item dropped onto the toes

  6. Amputation or crush injuries of the toes during a car accident
  7. Amputation or crush injuries of the toes as a pedestrian involved in a road traffic accident
  8. Loss of function or amputation of the toes following medical negligence during routine operations on the toes
