WRIST INJURY COMPENSATION CLAIM

Wrist Injury Claims

The wrist consists of the ends of the two forearm bones that connect to eight carpal bones that link to the bones of the hand which are all held together by muscles, tendons and ligaments. Most wrist injuries are sustained when an individual attempts to break a fall with their hands which can cause a fracture or a dislocation or a sprain that can range from mild to severe with torn ligaments and joint instability. In cases where this type of injury has been caused by the actions or negligence of others it may be possible to make a wrist injury compensation claim.

Wrist Injury Compensation

Most incidents of wrist injury are the result of slips, trips and falls. This type of accident can occur at work or in public places or on private property. Serious injuries can require extensive treatment and it is not unusual, particularly in the elderly, to see both wrists broken and in plaster as a result of a fall :-

Pavements & Highways

A local authority in charge of paths and roads must operate a regular and adequate inspection and repair regime. Failure to do so can mean that they are negligent and liable to pay compensation in a wrist injury claim if a pedestrian slips, trips and falls as a result of a defect in the pavement or highway.

Public Places & Private Property

Owners and occupiers of land and property must ensure the safety of those members of the public that might reasonably be expected to use the property or premises. This means that shops and places of entertainment need to ensure the health and safety of the public with the duty even extending to private commercial premises to which the public have no general right of admission and includes private residences.

Workplace Environment

Employers have a legal duty to ensure the heath and safety of employees whilst at work. If an employee is involved in a slipping or tripping accident as a result of an employers negligence in failing to ensure safety in the workplace then the employer will be held liable in a wrist injury compensation claim.
