What Our Clients Say
Why Foot and Ankle Injuries Deserve Serious Legal Attention
The foot and ankle region is made up of 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 100 tendons and ligaments. Injuries in this area are often painful, slow to heal, and can limit your mobility for weeks—or permanently. According to the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society, over 25,000 ankle sprains occur in the U.S. every day, and more than 5 million people seek medical care for foot injuries annually.
In many cases, these injuries are not just accidents—they are the direct result of negligence:
A property owner who failed to fix a broken stair
A distracted driver who crashed into a pedestrian
A retail store that failed to clean up a spill
A worksite that lacked proper safety signage
Injury victims often face:
High medical bills and physical therapy costs
Lost income due to inability to walk or drive
Long-term pain or limited range of motion
Emotional distress from being unable to care for themselves or their family
If you were injured in Carrollton or anywhere in Texas, let our legal team help you hold the responsible party accountable.
Common Accidents That Cause Foot and Ankle Injuries
1. Auto Accidents
Car crashes often lead to crushing injuries, fractures, and soft tissue damage in the lower extremities—especially if your foot was on the brake or twisted on impact.
2. Slip and Fall Accidents
Slipping on a wet floor, icy walkway, or uneven pavement can cause broken ankles, torn ligaments, or stress fractures. These cases often involve premises liability.
3. Workplace Injuries
Construction, warehouse, and manufacturing jobs put workers at high risk for foot crush injuries, puncture wounds, and sprains from falling objects or equipment.
4. Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents
Foot and ankle trauma is common when pedestrians or cyclists are struck by vehicles, especially if the vehicle rolls over the lower body.
5. Sports and Recreational Injuries
Poor supervision, unsafe surfaces, or faulty equipment can lead to sports-related injuries involving fractures, Achilles tendon ruptures, or sprained ankles.
6. Dog Attacks
Dog bites or attacks can lead to torn tendons, broken bones, and infections in the feet or ankles, especially for children and elderly victims.

What to Do After a Foot or Ankle Injury
If you suffered a foot or ankle injury and suspect negligence, taking the right steps early can strengthen your case. Here's what to do:
Seek immediate medical attention. Follow through with diagnostic imaging and treatment.
Report the incident. File a police report or incident report, depending on where it occurred.
Take photos. Document the injury, footwear, surroundings, hazards, or any objects involved.
Get witness information. Eyewitness statements can help prove what happened.
Avoid speaking with insurance adjusters. Don’t accept a settlement or give a recorded statement without legal counsel.
Contact a personal injury lawyer. The sooner you get legal representation, the better your chances of protecting your claim.
How Long Do I Have to File a Foot or Ankle Injury Claim?
In Texas, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of injury. If you fail to file within that time, you may lose your right to seek compensation.
There are exceptions—such as injuries to minors or cases involving government entities—so don’t wait. Speak with a qualified attorney to protect your claim.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a foot or ankle injury worth?
There is no fixed dollar amount for these injuries. Compensation depends on the severity, the long-term effects, your ability to work, and the negligence involved. Some claims are worth thousands; others may reach six figures or more in severe cases.
Do I need a lawyer for a minor foot injury?
Even a “minor” injury can become serious over time. A lawyer can help determine if your injury qualifies for compensation and make sure you don’t accept a lowball settlement from the insurance company.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Texas follows a modified comparative fault rule. As long as you were less than 51% at fault, you may still recover compensation, though it could be reduced by your percentage of fault.
What if I can’t afford to pay a lawyer upfront?
We work on a contingency fee basis. That means you don’t pay us unless we recover compensation for you. It costs nothing to reach out and learn your options.
