Every new construction site accident claim is different, each with its own set of circumstances but for us to represent you in a successful claim we must establish that the accident was not your fault and that your employer was to blame.

If you can answer “yes” to all or some of the statements below then we recommend you contact us now to discuss a potential new claim for personal injury.

• Have you seriously injured your arm during your employment on a construction site?
• Were the circumstances that led to your arm injury someone else’s fault?
• Did the accident happen within the last 3 years?
• Did you require medical treatment for your arm injury?
• Did you have to take time off work to recover from your injuries?
• Did you suffer any financial loss as a direct result of your hand injury?

If you can answer yes to any or all of these questions then we recommend you call us now to take advantage of our free claim consultations on 01507 609027.

Over the last 20 years our team of solicitors have advised thousands of clients on a wide range of different arm injuries on construction sites. We have listed some of the most common types of accidents below.

If the accident you have been involved in is not listed, please do not worry as you still may have a valid claim for compensation.

• Arm injuries caused by tripping, slipping and falling accidents on construction sites
• Fractured arms due to crushing and squashing related accidents
• Serious lacerations and total loss of arms due to dangerous or faulty machinery
• De-gloving type injuries to hands, wrists and forearms caused by large machinery, vehicles and scaffolding

There are dozens of different types of accidents that can lead to serious arm injuries on a construction site so if the accident that has caused your injury is not listed above do not worry, we can still advise you on a potential claim.

If you have been injured on a construction site within the last 3 years which has caused you to sustain a serious arm injury then contact us now on 01507 609027 to discuss a claim.

The amount of compensation you can claim depends on several different factors including the type of arm injury you have sustained, the severity of your arm injury, how long it took you to recover and if you suffered any other financial losses such as loss of earnings due to the accident.

The amount of compensation you could expect to receive for the pain and suffering caused by your injuries are based on a set of national guidelines called the Judicial College Guidelines.

The latest set of guidelines were published at the end of 2019 and some example guideline amounts for hand injuries are set out below:

• Most serious injury that requires amputation of both arms – £225,960 – £281,250
• Very severe injuries that causes permanent disability but just short of an amputation – £90,250 – £122,860
• Serious arm fractures to the forearm with significant disability – £36,770 – £56,180
• A severe elbow injury that leads to significant disability – £33,430 – £46,780
• Serious fracture to the forearm but with a good recovery, or expected recovery – £18,020 – £36,770
• Moderate arm fracture with full recovery – £6,190 – £18,020

*The figures quoted here are illustrative and your potential claim may be worth more or less.

In addition to compensation for pain and suffering, we are also able to help you claim for “special damages”. These damages include any loss of past and future earnings, your pensions and medical care. Special damages often make up a very large percentage of the total claim value and in some circumstances can amount to millions of pounds.

Every arm injury on a construction site claim is different so we recommend you contact us now to discuss your potential claim. Our solicitors are available to speak to now by calling 01507 609027.
