Work-Related Accidents
Accidents in the workplace can lead to serious arm injuries. The manufacturing and mining industries in particular are fraught with potential dangers. Your employer is responsible for ensuring that a safe system of work is in operation. Sometimes employers fail to meet this duty of care and an employee is injured as a result. Victims of arm injuries caused by employer negligence have a legal right to bring compensation claims.
Repetitive Strain Injury
Repetitive strain injury (RSI) is a result of continuous repetitive movement with insufficient rest breaks. These types of hand and arm injuries are virtually always work-related. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, swelling and loss of feeling in the hand and/or arm that is performing the repetitive motion. Anyone who believes they are suffering from RSI should see a physician as soon as possible. An official medical diagnosis is critical for bringing a successful RSI claim.
Slips, Trips and Falls
Another common cause of arm injuries is slipping, tripping or falling. Some examples include tripping on a pothole or slipping on a spilt liquid in a grocery store. The owner or occupier of the property where the accident occurred may be held legally responsible for injuries incurred by those who could have been reasonably expected to enter or use the property. It does not matter if the accident occurred on public or private property. The individual responsible for maintaining the premises may also be held accountable in certain situations.
Motor Vehicle Collisions
Some of the most severe arm injuries occur as a result of road traffic accidents with motorcyclists and pedestrians being at particular risk. All road users owe other road users a duty of care and if you have suffered a serious arm injury as a result of negligence by a driver our specialist personal injury solicitors should be able to obtain compensation on your behalf.
Amputations
Amputations can be either complete or incomplete. A complete amputation is when the body part has been completely severed. With an incomplete amputation, some soft tissue remains, keeping the body part connected to the rest of the body. An amputation can be the result of a surgery where the amputation was necessary to save the victim's life. The other type of amputation is called a "traumatic amputation," which is the result of some type of accident or violence.
When a person hears the word amputation, the loss of an arm or leg is what typically comes to mind. However, there are many other body parts that are vulnerable to amputation. Feet and hands are two obvious examples, but noses, ears, toes and fingers can also be amputated.
