Claims for Hand Injuries
The hand is intricate in design and function - it's an amazing work of anatomy. Therefore, any injury to the underlying structures within the hand carries the potential for a serious handicap. To lessen this risk, even minor injuries to the hand require rapid and accurate medical evaluation.
Including the wrist, the hand consists of 35 complex bones. When the other associated structures (veins, arteries, nerves, muscles, ligaments, tendons and joint cartilage) are considered, trauma to the hand can result in a variety of debilitating injuries.
Considering how much we use them, it isn't perhaps surprising that hand injuries account for nearly 10% of visits to hospital Emergency Departments. A recent study of one thousand hand injuries at A&E Departments showed that 42% were lacerations (cuts), 27% contusions (bruises), 17% fractures (broken bones), and 5% infections.
Some may think that a hand injury sounds like a minor complaint, but the movement and sensitivity of our hands are so central to our everyday life that hand injuries can represent some of the most incapacitating injuries we hear of.
Hand Injuries at Work
Many hand injuries result from accidents at work. Unguarded machines at work are often the cause of nasty laceration injuries. And because employers have a duty under the UK 's Health and Safety Regulations, to keep dangerous machinery and blades properly guarded, the employer rarely has a practical defence to a compensation claim for a hand injury involving machinery .
Hand Injuries at Work Continued
Crushing injuries are also relatively common causing contusions and fractures. These are most frequently caused during lifting accidents or when moving heavy objects and closing heavy closing doors.
Work with vibrating equipment which has to be held, can damage the nerves in the hand. A common variant of this injury is called Vibration White Finger and is relatively common amongst coal miners. Even trips or falls at work can result in broken bones as the person outstretches their arms in an attempt to break the impact.
Indeed any even minor hand injury should receive expert medical attention as there is always a significant risk of a debilitating injury to such a delicate structure.
