What hand injuries can I make a claim for?
Similarly to fingers, it is fairly common to sustain a hand injury. As we touch, hold, and operate things with our hands daily, they are much more prone to injury compared to other areas of the body.
Hand injuries make up around 10% of hospital A&E visits each year and can range from crush injuries, breaks, and penetrative wounds to severe lacerations resulting in loss of function. The hands are frequently left with permanent scarring following these events. If you’ve also suffered a finger injury, you may want to explore your options for compensation on our Finger Injury Claims page.
Hand injuries from slip, trip and fall accidents
When tripping over, it is a natural response for humans to break their fall using their hands and knees. This impact can cause significant damage depending on the height and speed of the fall and result in a hand injury. If you’ve experienced this, don’t wait – start your claim today.
Workplace hand injuries
Hand injuries are the leading cause of workplace injuries. Most accidents at work involving the hand are reported to have been caused by insufficient safety equipment and faulty machinery.
If you have suffered a hand injury at work, it is crucial to seek medical attention before logging the incident in the accident book. If possible, obtain witness details and CCTV footage of the accident if available. Once you’ve taken these steps, get in touch with us. We have successfully dealt with many Hand Injury Claims, securing thousands in compensation for our clients.

What are General and Special Damages?
General Damages
General Damages cover non-monetary losses resulting from your hand injury. These include pain, suffering, disfigurement, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life. Every personal injury is unique, so solicitors assess the severity and long-term impact of the injury to determine an appropriate compensation amount.
Special Damages
Special Damages compensate for financial losses directly linked to your injury. These are typically easier to quantify and are based on documented evidence such as receipts, invoices, or wage slips.
Compensation may cover:
- Damage to property
- Loss of earnings
- Medical expenses
- Travel costs
- Care and support needs

The most severe injuries, such as permanent loss of function or amputation, can exceed £100,000. Your claim will also factor in loss of income and future care costs.
