Hand Injury Compensation Claims
Are you entitled to make a hand injury compensation claim?
Hand injury compensation is paid out to sufferers who have experienced some form of damage or disability to either or both hands. There are different severities of damage from minor lacerations to damage that could require amputation. The type/amount of compensation for hand injuries includes:
- Severe dislocation of appendage: £3000
- Fracture of finger/s: £1500
- Loss of fingers: £9000
- Total loss of hands: £80000
The vast majority of hand injuries occur in the workplace and are often a result of negligence towards safety protocols: failing to ensure a safety guard on a bladed machine or lifting heavy materials leading to crushed hands and fingers.
Vibration white finger claims can be made if the hand has suffered damage because of exposure to constant vibrations from machinery such as power drills. You can read more on our page specifically about finger injury compensation for further details.
There are mainly two types of hand injury: ‘brunt trauma’ and damage from sharp objects such as knives, nails and saws. If you have incurred damage to the hand in any way, it’s important to seek medical attention in order to get a proper assessment, which would be important evidence for a hand injury compensation claims case.
With hand injuries, nerve and tendon damage can cause serious disability and can affect the ability to grip appropriately. Such a disturbance of lifestyle means that the appropriate compensation must be awarded to compensate for these changes in everyday living.
