Expertise And Understanding With Your HAVS Claim
HAVS, commonly known as Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome, is a term used to describe the numbing of the fingers following damage to the blood vessels and nerves. The condition, depending on the severity, leads to a loss of dexterity and feeling in the fingers as well as a loss of colour in the fingers and hands.
HAVS is typically caused by the continuous use of vibrating hand-held machinery, such as pneumatic tools. Although the Government introduced Control of Vibration at Work Regulations in 2005, HAVS still affects around 3,000 workers every year.
If you have suffered from any numbness of the fingers that may be down to the use of vibrating tools, the industrial injury solicitors at Irwin Mitchell could help you to claim compensation.
