Common questions

Ligament & tendon injury claims FAQ

Everything you need to know about making a ligament or tendon injury claim. Can't find your answer? Call us on 0333 006 8282.

If your ligament tear or tendon injury happened because of someone else's negligence, whether from a car crash, workplace accident, or slip in a public place, you absolutely deserve compensation. These injuries can take months to heal and seriously impact your ability to work and live normally.

We see people struggling with mounting physio bills, lost wages, and pain that just won't quit. None of that should be your burden to bear alone. Call us on 0333 006 8282. It's No Win, No Fee¹.

Yes. If your employer's negligence caused your ligament or tendon injury, through unsafe conditions, lack of training, or repetitive strain, you can claim workplace accident compensation. Your employer has a legal duty to protect you, and when they fail, they're liable for your injuries and losses.

Compensation depends on the severity of your injury. Minor Achilles tendon damage typically awards £6,820–£11,820, moderate shoulder ligament injuries range from £7,410–£11,980, and severe neck soft tissue damage can reach £18,020–£45,070. You can also claim for lost wages, treatment costs, and rehabilitation on top.

Ligaments connect bone to bone and stabilise your joints, like the ACL in your knee. Tendons connect muscle to bone and allow movement, like your Achilles tendon. Both injuries are painful and can take months to recover from. Either way, if someone else caused the damage, you deserve compensation.

Absolutely. Repetitive motions, heavy lifting, and poor ergonomics at work can all cause tendonitis and other tendon injuries. If your employer failed to provide proper equipment, training, or rest breaks, that's negligence, and you can claim compensation for your injury and lost earnings.

You have three years from the date of your accident to start your claim. Don't wait. Evidence goes cold, witnesses forget details, and CCTV gets deleted. The sooner you start, the stronger your case becomes.

Soft tissue injuries including ligament and tendon damage are extremely common. HSE statistics show that slips, trips, falls and lifting injuries account for 48% of all non-fatal workplace accidents, nearly 330,000 people per year.

Many of these result in ligament tears, sprains, and tendon damage that people wrongly dismiss as minor. If your injury was caused by someone else's negligence, you have every right to claim compensation.
