Wrist Injury Compensation Claims

Trustpilot

Whether you’ve had an accident or suffered a repetitive strain injury, wrist injuries can have a serious effect on your day-to-day life. Our personal injury solicitors understand how disruptive a wrist injury can be, which is why we strive to get you the compensation you deserve.

How To Make A Wrist Injury Claim

Start by calling us on 0800 056 4110 for your free initial consultation. We’ll go through how the injury happened, who you feel is at fault, and how your life has been affected.

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 takes into account your pain, suffering and the 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 you to claim for:

  • Sprains and strains
  • Dislocation
  • Breaks and fractures
  • Repetitive strain injury
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Osteoarthritis caused by work.

Wrist injuries may result in a loss of earnings, or you may need to retrain completely if you can no longer manage your role. We can help you arrange rehabilitation and may be able to secure interim compensation payments, which can help with costs such as hospital travel to your appointments.

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

The time limits for wrist injury claims apply to either the date you had an accident, or the date you realised your wrist was injured (for example if a doctor diagnosed you with repetitive strain injury). You generally have three years in which to make a claim, though there are exceptions, such as if you were abroad or if the injury happened as a result of a criminal assault.

We suggest that you get in touch with us as soon as possible. The earlier you get in touch, the easier it may be for us to gather evidence to support your claim.

How Much Compensation Can I Claim For A Wrist Injury?

There are no set compensation amounts for wrist injuries because every claim is different. Whether you’re seeking broken wrist compensation, fractured wrist compensation, or a settlement for another injury, we’ll determine the amount based on:

  • The severity of the damage
  • Loss of earnings
  • Inability to take part in everyday activities
  • Whether or not you’ll need ongoing treatment.

Where applicable, we can also help with interim compensation payments, which can cover costs such as travel to hospital appointments.

No Win No Fee Wrist Injury Claims

Most of our wrist 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 be deducted from your final compensation.

Why Choose Us?

We’ve helped clients to claim billions of pounds in personal injury compensation.

Our legal specialists are experts in their field and deal with wrist injury claims like yours every day. We have offices across the country, so can help you no matter where you are.

We won’t rush you; we’ll simply deal with your claim sensitively and strive to get you the best settlement.

Where needed, our support and rehabilitation specialists can also arrange rehabilitation such as physiotherapy. We understand that the effects of wrist injuries are more than just physical damage, so we’ll work to ensure you’re compensated while you recover.

Client Story - Wrist Injury

Six-Figure Compensation for Ipswich Man with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Migrant Worker

We secured a six-figure settlement for our client after he was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome caused by his job at a fabrication company. He used angle grinders and other tools at work, which produced excessive amounts of vibration.

He had surgery on his wrist but the symptoms continued and he lost multiple jobs because of the injury. He even had to sell his home because his loss of earning meant he struggled to afford mortgage payments.

Our client got in touch with us to see if we could help him claim compensation from his former employers. They originally refused to accept responsibility so we prepared to take them to court. Faced with the evidence we collected and a looming court date, the employers eventually agreed to an out-of-court settlement.

The settlement has been a great relief to our client and his family, who've been able to pay off the mortgage on their new home and put the events of the last few years behind them.



Nick Woods

“I am absolutely delighted that we have been able to negotiate such a brilliant result.

"To have represented my client for over three years now makes it all the more satisfying for me to know that this settlement will change not just his life but also the lives of his wife and children."

Nick Woods, Associate
