Your wrist is one of the easiest places to damage, especially when involved in an accident. One of the reasons for this is because it is a natural reaction to protect ourselves, especially our head, using our arms, wrist and hands; so in the process your wrist is going to take the most of the impact.
Some of the damage that could occur to your wrist includes sprains, dislocations and broken/fractured bones as well as torn ligaments. Any of these injuries could cause instant, severe pain and tenderness with swelling, lack of movement and discolouration; it could even result in permanent damage such as deformity. If symptoms such as these do occur it is important that you seek medical attention and the wrist should be immobilised and have ice applied if possible as a means to reduce the swelling and overall injury.
If you are one of the many unfortunate people who have suffered from a wrist injury then you may be able to make a claim for compensation. If your injury was caused through no fault of your own and was the result of an accident that should have been avoided then contact a personal injury specialist today as they will do everything possible to make your claim a success.
You have a civil and legal right to make a claim for compensation after suffering a personal injury through an accident that wasn’t your fault, which is where a personal injury specialist can help. They will assess your case to see whether you have a chance of being successful in your claim; if they feel that you do then they will be more than happy to take your case on.
If you are successful in making a claim for compensation then the amount of money that you will gain depends on the extent of your injuries and the suffering that you have endured. This is because, even if two accidents appear identical, the amount of compensation received could be completely different as the amount of damages that you will be awarded in a successful claim for compensation depends on your individual circumstances.
To gain an idea of the amount of compensation that you will be awarded in a successful claim I have complied the following:
• Minor wrist injury, with full recovery in a few months can get you up to £2,800
• A fractured wrist could bring you up to £5,850 in compensation
• Severe wrist injury with continuing pain and some permanent disability could mean you get up to £14,250
• Complete loss of function in your wrist could be up to £30,000
These are just a rough guide to the amount of compensation that you could be awarded in a successful claim for compensation following a wrist injury. For a more accurate amount of compensation that you could be looking to get in a successful claim for compensation get in touch with a personal injury solicitor today.
