Pages On: Finger Injuries

Finger injuries are usually not too severe or life-threatening, but the fallout from a finger injury, whichever finger it may be, can affect many of the day-to-day things we take for granted. If you have lost a finger, or they have been rendered unusable, it may affect your ability to work. The compensation for each different finger injury will take into account how it has affected your life, not just how bad the injury itself is. If you have suffered a finger injury in an accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be entitled to personal injury compensation.

One teacher was awarded with £4,000 after they “almost fell” when a stool broke. Other successful claimants included…

I can’t rate this company highly enough. I was very sceptical at first as I had not had any dealings with this sort of thing but believe you me, they were very good to me right from the start. There is no pushing you to do anything you don’t want to do, they are always simply sympathetic with your plight. I didn’t think I’d stood a chance but they came through for me for which I am very grateful. Believe you me they are first class.
