If you or a member of your family have seriously injured your fingers or thumbs and are no longer able to work or have suffered a financial loss as result of the accident then you may be able to claim compensation from the person at fault for the accident.

Some of the most common types of accident that lead to the loss and amputation of thumbs include:

• Loss and amputation of thumbs caused by accidents in the workplace, involving machinery that is faulty, broken or dangerous
• Loss and amputation of thumbs due to injuries sustained in road traffic accidents

There are a wide variety of accidents that can leading to serious hand and thumb related injuries in all manner of different settings. If the accident that caused your injury is not listed above then do not worry, we can still offer you expert legal advice relating to your accident and your injuries.

Coming to terms with such a serious accident can be extremely stressful, which is why we aim to make the claims process as stress free as possible.

We offer our clients a free initial phone consultation to discuss the circumstances that led to your injury. During this call we will ask you questions about your accident, how it happened, who was to blame and the severity of the injuries you sustained as a result.

We will try to build a picture of the accident and your injuries so we can decide if we believe your claim has good prospects of success.

If we believe your claim has merit, we may offer to represent you on a No Win No Fee basis.

All thumb related injury claims are different and the amount of compensation you may expect to receive depends on the severity of your injuries.

All successful personal injury claims will include two main elements:

• Compensation for your injuries and pain and suffering
• “Special Damages” for any lost earnings, past, present and future as a result of the accident. This will take into account if your injuries have a detrimental effect on your future employment opportunities

Again, the actual amount of financial compensation you may expect to claim varies from claim to claim and depends on a number of factors including the type of injury you have sustained, the severity of your injuries, how long you take to recover and if you incurred any financial losses such as loss of earnings as a result of the accident.

The actual amount that you are able to claim for your pain and suffering is based on a set of national guidelines and fall into different bands.

The amounts set out below are based on figures published in the 15^th edition of the Judicial College Guidelines for the assessment of damages in personal injury cases, published in November 2019.

• Severe injury that leads to all fingers being lost or amputated – £82,040 to £93,540
• Severe injuries where the hand has had index, middle or ring fingers amputated leaving little or no use – £52,810 to £77,430
• Injuries that have led to several fingers amputated – £24,740 – £52,810
• Injuries that have caused fingers to be severely fractured and lead to loss of dexterity and impairment of grip – up to £31,350
• Serious injury that leads to the loss of a thumb – £28,310 to £43,710
• Finger fracture which leads to a loss of grip function and dexterity – £10,380 – 15,990

*The figures quoted here are illustrative and your potential claim may be worth more or less.

In addition to compensation for pain and suffering, we are also able to help you claim for “special damages”.

These damages include any loss of past and future earnings, your pensions and medical care. Special damages often make up a very large percentage of the total claim value and in some circumstances can amount to millions of pounds.
