Despite their relatively small size, the toes are an important part of the body. They are crucial as an aid to balance and mobility, making walking and running simple and easy. Due to their size and position however, they are fairly fragile. Getting medical attention for a toe injury is essential, as without it, the injury might not heal correctly. A toe injury compensation claim should also be seen as an essential part of the recovery process, if the injury was caused in an accident through no fault of your own.

Here at Ashley Ainsworth we see numerous different ways in which our clients have suffered toe injuries. Many of them occur in accidents at work, especially in jobs which require a lot of manual handling such as working in a factory. Frequently, the injury occurs when a heavy object falls and lands on the foot. Toe injuries are also common in slip and trip accidents, and as sport injuries. Compensation is available if your toe injury occurred in an accident that was not your fault.
The most frequent toe injury we come across is a fracture or break of one of the bones in the foot. Other injuries to the toes can include cuts, bruising, lacerations, sprains and strains. The most serious injuries can result in amputation of a toe.
Human toes are made up of a combination of phalanx and sesamoid bones for strength. This is combined with a series of muscles and tendons for movement. The big toe (also known as the great toe or the hallux) is seen as the most important, due to its size and the role it plays in keeping balance.
