You asked

I would like to request information regarding compensation payouts relating to lower limb injuries sustained in or around Victoria Line stations (i.e. station platform, street level and outside the station where liability was admitted by TfL). For this request, I would like to know the type of injury (fracture, sprain) with the compensation amount. **I am not requesting the names of the individual stations** If the requested information exceeds the time/cost permitted under FOI 2000, then I would like information relating to lower limb fractures in Zone 1, 2 and 3 Victoria Line stations only and the associated payout values for each claim. Thank you.
