In the UK, around 10% of all visits to A&E are for hand injuries. Although our hands are not vital organs, they are both very delicate and very useful, so it is important they are treated properly when they are hurt.
They can range from injuries which affect the bones - so serious fractures, both multiple and compound - to those where tendons, ligaments, nerves and blood vessels are damaged. Most typically, these are sprains and strains, but can also be soft tissue injuries and bruising. As with nearly all injuries, they can be very painful, and can sometimes become chronic, lasting for a long time, so should never be ignored.
They can occur in many different kinds of situations, and most claims are made when the damage is not the fault of the injured party. They are sometimes caused by
Car Accidents, but can also be the result of a fall. If you have sustained your injury at work, you will need to make a
Work Injury Claim, and if it is of an industrial type, like vibration white finger, you should make an
Industrial Injury Claim. Alternatively, you may have been hurt playing sport, in which case you will need to make a
Sporting Injury Claim.
To ensure a full and speedy recovery, all injuries must be properly looked after, and injuries that affect the hand are no different. It is vital that you get a hand injury diagnosis that is accurate that you know you can rely on, as well as the best possible hand injury treatment, rehabilitation and physiotherapy. Compensation claims may include being compensated for time off work and access to the best medical practitioners and hand injury doctors for injury rehabilitation.
