The average compensation for a broken ankle in a slip and fall case is determined by a number of different economic and non-economic factors in your claim. Economic damages refer to your out-of-pocket expenses for your ankle break, including current and future medical expenses, rehabilitation, property damage, lost wages, and the loss of future wages and benefits.
For particularly complex ankle breaks where multiple bones fracture, pins, bolts, or screws are necessary, or multiple surgeries are needed to heal the injuries, your economic damages for a broken ankle settlement amount could be substantial.
Non-economic damages include payment for pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and disability. In Mississippi, the law limits noneconomic damages in a personal injury case to $1,000,000 but places no limits on the amount of economic damages for recovery.
