Ankle Injury

Injuries to the ankle comprise a large portion of personal injury claims. An ankle injury can be brought on by multiple different causes. As a Boston ankle injury lawyer, I have represented many people who have suffered ankle injuries due to negligence.

Common Ankle Injuries

Ankle Injury Sprains – This is the most common type of ankle injury. Each day 25,000 people sprain an ankle. An ankle sprain is when ligaments of the ankle are injured. These range from mild to severe. An inversion ankle sprain is the most common form of an ankle sprain. Crutches as well as a walking boot may be given to one who has suffered this injury. In time the sprain should heal well.

Fractures – Also quite common are ankle fractures. These are breaks to the bones in the ankle. There are different types of fractures than can result to the ankle. A displaced fracture is when the ankle moves out of place. A non-displaced ankle fracture is when the broken bone is not moved out of place. Depending on the severity of the fracture, surgery may or may not be necessary.

Accidents That Can Cause Ankle Injuries 
What Should You Do After An Ankle Injury?

Depending on the severity of the injury, it is wise to get checked out by a competent medical professional. The medical exam will help to determine the scope and severity of the injury. If you have not already done so, make sure to report the accident (assuming it has not been reported already) to the appropriate party. Be sure not to speak with any insurance adjuster that call you. Also, don't sign any paperwork that any insurance company sends to you following the injury. By signing certain forms, you may be settling your case without even knowing it.

Next, if you feel the accident was caused due to negligence and you want to pursue a claim, you should contact a personal injury attorney that has experience with handling ankle injuries. You can find a great attorney by asking family and friends for a referral, as well as using Google to find the right attorney for you. Be sure to read reviews from past clients before hiring a particular personal injury attorney in Massachusetts.
