The limbs are susceptible to many different kinds of damage. Wrists are particularly sensitive, due in part to the kind of joint it is, and also because of how much it is used.
There are injuries which affect the bones – so serious fractures, both multiple and compound/complex – as well as more basic broken and dislocated wrists. Arthritis also affects the bones in the wrist, and can be very painful.
Then there are injuries in which nerves, blood vessels, tendons, cartilage and ligaments in the wrist are damaged - tendonitis is particularly common.
As with most injuries, those which affect the wrist have the potential to become chronic, so should never be ignored.
Most claims are made when the damage was not the fault of the injured party. You may, for example, have been in a
Car Accident, in which case you might find our page on those types of incident helpful.
Injuries are also common in the workplace. You may have hurt your wrist while lifting something heavy, or may have developed repetitive strain injury, in which case you will need to make a
Work Injury Claim.
Should you have been injured playing sport, you will need to make a
Sporting Injury Claim.
If you have fallen in the street, the local authority may be responsible, as it is their duty to ensure that roads and pavements are properly maintained. We can help you with this type of claim too.
