Arm Injuries

Arm injuries, including broken or fractured bones, loss of movement and even amputation, can cause serious disruptions to an individual’s life. An injury to the arm may result in time off work and the requirement of rehabilitation, medical support and the inability to accomplish easy daily tasks.

If you have experienced a loss of earnings or have experienced pain and suffering from your arm injury then it is likely you will be able to make a claim for personal injury.

Although compensation will not ease the immediate pain and suffering which you are experiencing, however it can go a long way to helping you get your life back on track and get you the justice you deserve.

Common causes of an Arm Injury?

The most common causes for arm injury accidents to occur are:

  • Slip, Trip and Fall

    Physiology of Arm Injury

    Broken Arm A broken arm involves one or more of the three bones in your arm (the ulna, radius and Humerus).

    A broken arm or wrist is typically caused by a fall onto an outstretched arm. It usually takes between 6 to 8 weeks to heal in adults, and less time in children.

    Although a broken arm usually heals quickly and causes no long-term issues, it may at first appear swollen, bruised and bleed.
    Dislocated Elbow This happens when the bones of the forearm shift out of place. Although most elbow dislocations are usually the result of a fall, any traumatic injury can result in an elbow dislocation.
    Bicep Tendonitis The biceps muscle is made up of 2 parts. The long head and the short head. The long head of the biceps is most commonly occupied with tendinitis, as the tendon from the muscle runs up the length of the arm and attaches into the joint of the shoulder.

    Although these tendons are strong, they can become sore and painful if overused, this is a condition referred to as tendonitis.

    There are many factors that can lead to biceps tendinitis such as:

    • Activities requiring repetitive overhead movement of the arms
    • Weakness in the rotator cuff and muscles of the upper back
    • Shoulder joint
    • Muscle tightness
    • How a person controls his or her body when moving
    • A sudden increase in an exercise routine
    • Age- related body changes

    How much could you claim for an Arm Injury?

    Compensation can be claimed when the arm injury is the result of negligence on the part of someone else. The money awarded can be used to help victims deal with the injury and cover the associated costs, such as hospital bills, loss of earnings, rehabilitation and structural changes.

    The claim for compensation is judged upon the severity of the victim’s arm injury:

    Loss of, or loss of use, of both arms

    £100,000 to £220,000
    Loss of, or loss of use, of one arm

    £75,000.00
    Major injury to one arm with permanent ongoing disability:

    £35,000.00
    Major injury to one arm with moderate ongoing symptoms:

    £15,000.00
    Broken arm or equivalent with incomplete recovery:

    £12,500.00
    Broken arm or equivalent with complete or near complete recovery:

    £5,000.00

    Every attempt has been made to make all information provided as accurate as possible. The injury claims calculator is intended as a guide only. The amount of compensation you receive may be considerably more as aspects of special damages have yet still to be considered. Therefore it is important for you to contact us for a full consultation and what you could expect to receive.
