Hand and Finger Injuries
Hand and finger injuries are typically minor however some finger and hand injuries can be serious including crushed and broken bones and "de-gloving" where the skin on a hand or finger is completely removed. Other serious injuries include amputation and nerve or muscle damage severe enough to result in a loss of use of that hand or finger.
Severe hand and finger injuries can impair a person's ability to work and may limit their employment options. These injuries also make it difficult for the victim to perform everyday tasks, care for themselves and enjoy their favorite hobbies.
Injury Compensation Claims
If your hand injury was caused by the negligence of a third party, you can bring a claim for compensation. Compensation includes general damages which are the financial losses that are easily calculated and assigned a monetary value including wages loss and care expenses together with special damages are not mathematically calculated and must be assessed by a judge and include compensation for pain, emotional trauma and reduced enjoyment of life.
Negligence
In order to make a hand injury compensation claim compensation, in common with almost all personal injury cases, it is necessary to show that another person was at fault which means that you must prove that a third party caused the accident as a result of their negligence. Negligence is a concept that has four separate parts and all four must be demonstrated in order to succeed. It must be shown that the other person owed the injured person a duty of care. This is so in the case of all road users and in the case of employer/employee relationships and in many other commonly encountered situations. Once the existence of a duty of care has been established it must be proved that there was a breach of the duty of care and that the breach directly caused an actual injury. In short it must be established as follows: - duty; breach; causation; injury.
Finger & Hand Amputations
A traumatic hand or finger amputation occurs when a body part is lost in an accident however not all accident-related amputations fall into this category. The body part may be surgically amputated following the accident due to medical necessity. In some accident cases, the hand or fionger is completely severed or it may be only partially severed and remain connected to the body by soft tissue. In still other cases the limb may be fully attached but is so badly damaged that it is impossible to salvage.
