Finger Injury Compensation Claims

Trustpilot

You may have had an accident, be suffering from repetitive strain injury or even lost a finger. We understand how seriously this can affect your day-to-day life and our finger injury claims solicitors will strive to get you the compensation you deserve while you recover.

How To Make A Finger Injury Claim

For your free initial consultation, speak to our team on 0800 056 4110. We’ll take you through a series of simple questions about the injury, including how it happened, who you believe is at fault, and the effect it’s had on your life.

If we think you have a claim, we’ll approach the person or organisation you believe is at fault. If they accept responsibility, we’ll negotiate a compensation settlement for you that is reflective of your pain, and the general impact on your life.

If we think you have a claim but the other party doesn’t admit responsibility, we’ll still fight for compensation for you – all the way to court if necessary.

We can help if you’ve suffered from any of the following:

  • Breaks, fractures and dislocations
  • Soft tissue damage
  • Repetitive strain injury
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Lacerations
  • Crush injuries
  • Vibration white finger
  • Amputation.

You may be able to fully recover from your injury, or you may suffer life-changing injuries, for example in the case of amputation. We understand that the impacts go beyond the physical damage, which is why we strive to secure the compensation you deserve to get you the help you need.

How Long Do You Have To Make A Finger Injury Claim?

The standard time limits for finger injuries are generally three years, however criminal assault claims have a limit of two years.  There are also different time limits if you were overseas when your accident happened.

If you believe you have a repetitive strain injury, you can claim for three years since the date you realised you were injured, for example if you were diagnosed by a doctor.

No matter what happened to you, we recommend getting in touch with us as soon as possible. The earlier you get in touch, the easier it is for us to gather the evidence we need to support your claim.

How Much Compensation Can I Claim For A Finger Injury?

There are no set compensation amounts for finger injuries as every claim is different. Your settlement will depend on many factors, including the severity of your injury. For example, a settlement for finger amputation would be much higher than one for a broken finger. Our claims specialists will assess:

  • The severity of the damage
  • Loss of earnings
  • The impact on you and your loved ones
  • Whether or not you’ll need ongoing support.

We’ll also take into account which finger has been injured – for example, losing a thumb or index finger could seriously affect your ability to carry out your daily activities, as opposed to a little finger.

No Win No Fee Finger Injury Claims

Most of our finger injury claims are ‘no win, no fee’. This means that yours and your opponent’s legal fees are covered if you’re unsuccessful*. If you’re successful, your opponent will pay the majority of your legal costs. Any costs not paid by your opponent will come out of your total compensation.

We’ve dealt with thousands of claims just like yours and helped to secure billions of pounds in settlements, but that doesn’t mean we won’t treat you as an individual.

Client Story - Finger Injury

Warehouse accident

We secured a six-figure settlement for a Production Manager who was injured while working on a belt that carried dough to make dog biscuits. The belt had tracking issues, which meant dough often fell from it.

As was standard practice, our client was flicking the dough back onto the belt when his right fingers became trapped between the rollers. He sustained a crush injury to his right hand, resulting in three broken metacarpals, which needed wires inserting into his finger joints to stabilise his hand.

He contacted our Accidents at Work team, who helped him to secure a settlement of £225,000 after his employer admitted liability.
