All employers owe their staff a duty of care to ensure their working environment is safe, so if they fail in their duty to maintain machinery, provide you with training and correct PPE and to carry out risk assessments of your tasks and you have been injured as a result, they may be deemed negligent.

Some of the most common types of finger injuries at work include:

• Loss and amputation of fingers and thumbs caused by large and dangerous machinery
• Fractures, lacerations, dislocations, ligament and tendon injuries caused by accidents involving handheld machinery such as chainsaws, drills, bandsaws, breakers, storage cages and warehouse vehicles
• HAVS related finger injuries caused by long term exposure to vibration from exposure to road breakers, jiggapixs and a wide variety of other hand-held machinery

There are a wide variety of accidents that lead to finger injuries at work, so if your accident or injury is not listed above do not worry, we can still offer you expert legal advice relating to your accident and your injuries.

All work related finger injury claims are different and the amount of compensation you may expect to receive depends on the severity of your injuries.

All successful personal injury claims will include two main elements:

• Compensation for your injuries and pain and suffering
• “Special Damages” for any lost earnings, past, present and future as a result of the accident

Compensation awards for personal injury claims are based on a set of national guidelines called the Judicial College Guidelines and are used to access the value of particular injuries. Past compensation awards are used a basis for valuing new claims. They are commonly used by the legal industry, insurers and the Courts.

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

• Severe injury that leads to all fingers being lost or amputated – £82,040 to £93,540
• Severe injuries where the hand has had index, middle or ring fingers amputated leaving little or no use – £52,810 to £77,430
• Injuries that have led to several fingers amputated – £24,740 – £52,810
• Injuries that have caused fingers to be severely fractured and lead to loss of dexterity and impairment of grip – up to £31,350
• Serious injury that leads to the loss of a thumb – £28,310 to £43,710

*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.
