It might be stating the obvious, but fingers are one of the areas of our body most exposed and vulnerable to injury. We use them intensely and constantly, at work, at home, for earning our livings and enjoying our leisure. They are, more than most parts of our anatomy, ‘in the firing line’. Consequently and statistically they are a very common site for fractures and an ongoing source of broken finger compensation claims.
Accidents occurring at work, during sport, in motor accidents and as a result of slips, trips and falls can all inflict blunt trauma, crushing, bending and twisting forces on our fingers sufficient to inflict anything from hairline fractures that might heal without treatment to complicated fractures that can require surgical intervention to re-build and re-align the affected digit. Make no mistake about it; a serious fracture of the finger can cause agonising pain. Any person who breaks one or more fingers as a result of an accident which wasn’t their fault might be able to make a broken finger compensation claim. Our experienced personal injury solicitors specialise in such broken finger compensation claims and are able to advise the would-be claimant as to whether a third party is liable because of negligence, legal fault or wilful act.
Once the viability of the claim is established, our legal professional will prepare and negotiate it in the course of a process that fully involves but doesn’t burden the claimant who is then able to concentrate on coping with his injury. When it is considered that this ‘coping’ might entail the claimant having to endure surgery and it’s aftermath, having the finger immobilised with a splint or casing for up to 4 weeks, engaging with a course of physiotherapy to restore strength and full movement to the finger and all whilst simultaneously struggling to deal with the demands of employment, the lifting of the burdensome aspects to making a broken finger compensation claim makes the retaining of a specialist personal injury claims solicitor an indispensable addition to the recovery process.
In common with other claims for compensation that deal with accidents resulting in fractured bones, the claimant might find their claim strongly defended, at which point any decision not to retain the services of a specialist personal injury solicitor may well begin to deliver adverse consequences. Anyone who has suffered with a broken finger and all its consequences as a result of somebody else’s negligence, at the very least probably owe themselves the maximum opportunity to be fairly compensated. That is where our legal professionals can help.
