A: The ankle is a complicated part of the body that joins the leg and foot together. There are many bones and ligaments that can be injured if you are in a New Jersey or New York slip and fall accident. Many people assume that ankle injuries need to be rested, elevated and iced in order to heal. In some cases, that is true. However, in order to ensure the successful healing of an ankle injury, it is important to see a doctor as soon as possible after you sustain an injury, particularly if you cannot bear weight on your foot or if you experience significant pain or swelling.
Treatment of some ankle injuries requires surgery and ongoing physical therapy. Depending on your job, you may be unable to work while you are unable to walk, and you may lose income.
