What is considered a finger or thumb injury?
Accidents involving fingers are extremely common and can include one or more fingers as well as the thumb. Some of the injuries we see most frequently include:
- Lacerations
- Fractures
- Nerve or tendon damage
- Burns
These injuries can result in deformity as well as loss of function. In severe cases, a finger may suffer partial or full traumatic amputation.
Common Accidents Causing Finger or Thumb Injuries
Finger and thumb injuries are most frequently reported following accidents at work, often leading to finger injury claims. These injuries are especially common in industries like manufacturing, where the handling of machinery and power tools is required, or in kitchens, where chefs and cooking staff are at high risk of suffering cuts, burns, and scalds to their fingers or thumbs.
Depending on the severity of your injury, you may not be able to work as efficiently as before. In more serious cases, finger or thumb injuries can be life-changing — and pursuing a claim may be the only way to secure the compensation you need.

More severe injuries, like tendon damage or partial amputation, can lead to payouts of £10,000 to £30,000. Losing a finger or multiple fingers may result in over £80,000. The final amount also considers loss of earnings and any impact on your daily life.
