What Kinds of Wrist Injury Can I Claim Compensation For?

There are a variety of different components to the wrist that can be subject to injury; bones, ligaments, tendons and muscles. The nature of your wrist injury compensation claim will be determined largely by which part of the wrist has been damaged, as well as the subsequent suffering you have endured. Although you can walk and it is in a very isolated place, your wrist still plays a pivotal role in everyday life, and a wrist injury can make writing, driving and typing very difficult. This can cause you to come under financial pressure if it hinders you from continuing in your line of work. The majority of wrist injuries consist of sprains, which refer to soft tissue damage – in other words injuries to muscles, tendons and ligaments. Although many sprains are minor, severe sprains can cause symptoms that last longer than some fractures or breaks to wrist bones.

Carpal Damage

Due to your wrist being so crucial to everyday life, loss of wrist movement or any impediment of wrist movement can make life extremely difficult. The two long bones in the forearm – known as the radius and ulna, are joined to the bones in your hand (metacarpals) by small bones known as the carpals. If you sustain damage to these bones it can affect wrist movement or even impede it totally. Following this, we recommend that you talk to professionals at Blackwater Law to find out if you are eligible for a no win, no fee wrist injury compensation claim.

Sprained Wrist

Your wrist is comprised of ligaments, known as the collateral ligaments, which extend through the arm into the hand and connect the muscles therein to the bones. Tears or inflammations in these ligaments can also have a negative effect on wrist usage. Similarly the wrist is also home to tendons (known as the flexor tendons), nerves (the radial nerve, medial nerve and the ulna nerve), arteries (radial and ulna) and muscles (the thenar, hypothenar and flexor retinaculum), all of which play a crucial role in allowing your wrist to function.

A wrist sprain is caused by the tearing of tissue/ligaments that connect the wrist joint together. Typically, this occurs as a result of stretching your wrist excessively, so falling on to an outstretched hand is a common cause. As pain occurs when moving or pressing your wrist, it can make work impossible for you – from operating machinery to typing emails, each and every task would cause pain. With this in mind, it is likely that you are eligible for a wrist injury compensation claim if you sustained your injury through no fault of your own.

Radius Fracture

The Radius bone is one of the two bones in your forearm; it runs in to your wrist and is the bone that is most often broken. It causes severe discomfort and swelling, usually meaning your wrist is too painful to move immediately after the injury. As it would prevent many people from work for three to six months, it can end up causing a lot of stress on the family financially. We believe that if you are in this situation you need to make sure you get the financial compensation you deserve to continue to live without a job for the time being.

Metacarpal Fracture

The metacarpal bones run from your wrist to your fingers, they are the bones that you can feel if you press the top of your hand. These are important for almost everything you do with your hand, and on top of this also have nerves that run through to your fingers allowing your fingers movement, and so severe damage can cause loss of movement. Depending on the severity of your metacarpal fracture, you will receive compensation in proportion to how much it affects your quality of life and work. Usually people suffer from metacarpal fractures when they have exerted force on to their knuckles (such as a punch) or if an object lands directly on their hand.
