Injury

Most injuries to the hand are relatively minor however instances of fractured bones, crushed and lacerated tissue including nerve fibres, finger amputation and skin damage or total ‘de- gloving’ by removal of the entire skin on the hand and fingers do occur in industrial accidents and can cause serious long term effects that directly impinge on the victims earning capacity. A hand injury compensation claim can be started if it can be shown that another person was fully or partly responsible in negligence for the cause of the accident.

Sport Accident

There are many instances of hand injury compensation claims arising as a result of an incident whilst playing sports. There are several areas of blame which can result in a sports injury compensation claim including negligent tuition, incompetent refereeing and inadequate facilities including unacceptable condition of the surface of courts or pitches. In addition damages can be claimed if the injury is as a direct result of a deliberate foul or intentional violence.

Workplace Accident

The most common cause of a finger or hand injury claim is from an accident at work especially involving machinery. An unsafe system of work, equipment or machinery that doesn’t comply with safety regulations, missing guards, inadequate training & supervision or failure to provide protective clothing especially gloves are all reasons to seek legal advice with a view to a hand injury compensation claim. Many employees are hesitant of making an industrial accident claim against an employer, however all employers are required by law to have ‘employers liability’ insurance in force to cover against accidents caused by negligence and victimisation or loss of employment should not occur.
