How Much for an Ankle Injury? Verdicts and Settlements
Metro Verdicts Monthly provides the following data to give the median (not average) settlement and verdicts for ankle fracture injuries:
District of Columbia: $66,000
Virginia: $21,700
Maryland: $88,000
My comment? People rarely have minor ankle injuries in car accidents in my experience. So I think a lot of slip and fall ankle injuries are included in here which lowers the value from pure auto accident ankle injury claims (or malpractice claims which are more rare for ankle injuries). I don't think we have ever had an ankle injury case settled for less than $150,000 and I can think of one that settled for over a $1,000,000 (although that case had other complicated injuries so it is hard to sort out where the value was in the case).
