Compensation claims for Hand and Finger injuries commonly arise as a result of slips, trips, and falls, where the individual puts out a hand to break their fall and injures their hand or fingers. They are also common in accidents at work where people using equipment or machinery get their hands or fingers caught during use, often due to inappropriate PPE or lack of adequate training.
Intricate in design and function, the hand is a feat of anatomical engineering. Comprising 19 bones, with a further 8 in the wrist, use of the hands is an integral part of our day-to-day lives and even a relatively minor injury can have a significant impact on our home life and our ability to work.
Injuries to hands and fingers can be caused in many ways, can vary in severity, and come in many forms, from sprains, strains, and cuts to fractures, dislocations, and amputations. Finger and hand injuries are also the most common reason for someone needing to take a trip to the hospital. As well as accounting for a large number of hospital visits, hand and finger injuries also make up the largest proportion of injuries caused in the workplace, with lacerations, burns, repetitive strain injuries, and even loss of fingers and hands, relatively common.
Other types of common finger and hand injury include various types of sports injury, such as sprains, strains, and fractures, as well as breaks and lacerations suffered in road traffic accidents.
If you have suffered a hand or finger injury due to third-party negligence and would like expert legal advice prior to starting your hand injury compensation claim, call PSR Solicitors, and we can help you claim the compensation you and your loved ones deserve.

As with any personal injury compensation claim, your settlement will be made up of two key components, the General Damages and the Special Damages.
The General Damages directly related to the injury and are calculated based on the pain, suffering, and loss of amenity (PSLA) incurred as a direct result of the injury. It also factors in the type of injury and the severity of your injury. These figures are calculated using the personal injury guidelines established by the Judicial College and will be assessed using the factors below
The Special Damages are awarded for any financial losses or financial costs incurred as a result of the injury. The Special Damages are unique to every claim and will be assessed by your dedicated Personal Injury Solicitor but will include things such as:
This is a commonly asked question with any type of personal injury claim but also a very difficult one to answer without fully assessing your hand injury compensation claim in detail. This is because virtually every injury is unique, with every victim being affected in different ways and recovering at their own pace.

The key factors to be considered are the severity of the injuries sustained, along with the emotional, physical, and financial ramifications it has had and will continue to have, on your personal and professional life.
