Every hand injury claim is different and the amount of compensation you can claim depends on a number of important factors, which include the severity of your hand injury, your recovery, if you have suffered any financial loss and your ability to work in the future.

The value of personal injury claims are based on a set of national guidelines called the Judicial College Guidelines and some example guideline amounts for hand injuries are set out below:

• Severe hand injury that results in the loss or loss of use of one or both hands – £76,650 to £189,110
• Severe injuries where the hand has had index, middle or ring fingers amputated leaving little use – £58,100 to £85,170
• Serious injuries that leads to loss of function in one or both hands – £52,310 to £79,360
• Serious injury that leads to the loss of a thumb – £28,310 to £43,710
• Less serious hand injuries whereby the hand is crushed which leads to impaired function – £13,570 to £27,220

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.

We do not charge our clients any fees whatsoever to start a new claim.

We fund all hand crushing claims using No Win No Fee agreements, also known as “Conditional Fee Agreements”.

The nature of these agreements means that law firms take all the financial risk and not the client.  If a claim fails, the law firm is not paid and the client does not have to pay any solicitor’s fees for their time.  For taking this risk, it is common for law firms to agree with a client that they will be paid a % of the client’s compensation award at the end of a successful claim.

If you are unable to work due to the severity of your injuries then we recommend you contact us as soon as possible to start you claim.

If you were not to blame for your accident and it can be proved your employer breached their duty to provide you with a safe working environment then you may be able to claim financial compensation from them, which may help in supplementing your income.
