Understanding ligament & tendon injuries
Injuries you can claim for
Ligament and tendon injuries range from mild sprains to complete ruptures. We've helped people with claims like yours, and our solicitors will pursue the compensation you're owed.
ACL & knee ligament tears
Anterior cruciate, posterior cruciate, and medial collateral ligament tears that can require surgery and months of rehabilitation.
Achilles tendon rupture
A complete tear of your strongest tendon. Often requires surgery and can take six months or more to recover fully.
Shoulder ligament damage
Rotator cuff tears and dislocated acromioclavicular joints. Lifting your arm above your head becomes agony.
Neck & whiplash sprains
Stretched or torn neck ligaments from sudden impact. Can last over 12 weeks and seriously limit your ability to work.
Wrist & hand tendon injuries
Torn wrist ligaments and tendon damage that destroy your grip strength and make everyday tasks painful.
Tendonitis & repetitive strain
Tennis elbow, patellar tendonitis, and other overuse injuries caused by workplace negligence or poor ergonomics.

Questions about making a ligament or tendon injury claim? 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.
Every day, we help hundreds of people across the UK claim the compensation they deserve after a ligament or tendon injury.
Don't let someone else's negligence cost you thousands. We fight for every penny you're owed, and there are no upfront costs*.
