ARM INJURY COMPENSATION CLAIM

Arm Injury Compensation

The arm is a complex part of our anatomy and there are numerous different types of injuries that can be caused by the negligence of a third party and give rise to an arm injury compensation claim ranging from repetitive strain injury (RSI) or traumatic injury at work through sports related injuries due to player negligence or violence and faulty pitches, defective courts or playing surfaces to those caused as a result of a slipping or tripping or falls in public or private places all of which can give rise to legal action for damages in an arm injury compensation claim if the accident was the fault of another person.

Traumatic Arm Injuries At Work

Some of the worst injuries to the arm occur at work particularly in manufacturing industry which uses equipment involving rotating shafts and cogs, reciprocating beams, powered rollers and heavy presses. All equipment of this nature should have adequate guards and safety features including facility for an emergency stop. If you have suffered injury whilst at work in a manufacturing process the chances are that your employer failed in their health and safety duty which will give rise to a successful arm injury compensation claim.

Repetitive Strain Injury – Hand & Arm Injuries

Repetitive strain injury (RSI) is a common condition caused by unsafe working practices involving repetitive motion with inadequate rest periods which affects tens of thousands of people in the UK every year. The symptoms of RSI include swelling, pain, loss of feeling and stiffness particularly in the arm and hands. If you suspect you are suffering from RSI you should consult your doctor urgently for diagnosis. If your employer has failed to comply with health and safety regulations by providing adequate rest periods from repetitive motion and you are suffering from RSI as a result then you can make a hand and/or arm injury compensation claim.

Slipping and Tripping – Arm Injury and Falls

If you sustained an arm injury outside of your workplace as a result of a slip, trip or fall, you may still be entitled to claim compensation. Regardless of whether the accident occurred on private or public property or land, the owner or occupier or the person who carries out maintenance can be held responsible for injury caused to those who might reasonably be anticipated to enter and use the property. For example, it is possible to make a claim against your local authority if you suffered a fall caused by a defect or a pothole in the pavement. A slip on spilt liquids in a shop or supermarket can also give rise to a successful compensation claim.
