Hand Injury Claims

Many people suffer hand injuries as a result of accidents at work. Unguarded machines at work are often the cause of nasty hand injuries. Because employers have a duty to keep dangerous machinery and blades properly guarded the employer rarely has a defence to hand injury claims.

Hands and fingers can also be injured in crushing accidents, in heavy closing doors, in lifting accidents or when moving heavy objects. Significant disability can be caused by hand injuries, and urgent medical attention should always be given to deep cuts to the hand, where nerves and tendons may be damaged or severed, requiring emergency surgery. Fractures of the bones in the hand are quite common in falls, where someone puts a hand out when falling. Any significant hand injury needs expert medical attention, and valuing the right amount of compensation for a hand injury claim is very much a job for a specialist independent solicitor.
