Accident Compensation
Protecting Your Hands From A Work Accident
Whether you work in a manual labour job or office environment, all of us will find that our hands are essential in carrying out our job. However, because of their level of use, they are also one of the most prone parts of the body to injury.
For all accident and emergency visits throughout the UK, 1 in 10 people will seek urgent medical attention for a hand-related personal injury. Even a seemingly minor complaint can affect our ability to carry out day-to-day tasks, and an untreated wound to the nerve, ligament, tendon or bone could lead to persistent health issues.
One of the most common areas where hand injuries occur is in the workplace. For construction workers or other manual professions, your employers have a duty of care to ensure that equipment is correctly assembled, maintained and supervised to minimise the risk of an accident.
Even in a less physically strenuous occupation, lifting a heavy box or trapping your finger in a door could lead to a painful hand injury. Other common incidences of hand injury include trapping it in a car door, shutting your hand in a letterbox or cutting yourself on packaging whilst handling goods in a shop.
For those of you that have suffered a personal injury to the hand, you could be entitled to make an accident compensation claim for the pain.
At Claims Solicitors, we will not only offer you advice on injury claims and claiming for the immediate inconveniences of a personal injury to your hand, we will also look into whether you could be entitled to a financial payout and accident compensation for ongoing medical care.
