Arm Injury Compensation
Many personal injury claims are as a result of injuries to the upper body or arms. The neck, back and shoulders are most commonly injured in accidents involving motor vehicles, colloquially known as ‘whiplash’ injuries. Injuries to the arms are also incurred in such incidents, sometimes as numbness symptoms connected to a whiplash injury or as entirely separate injuries.
Obviously there are many different types of injury that can be incurred to the upper body and arms; at Clear Law we hope we will be able to assist you, not only in recovering compensation for your injuries, but also to expedite your recovery from your symptoms through rehabilitation.
The most common types of injury to the arm
Fracture, dislocation
Fracture or dislocation injuries to the arm are typified by pain, swelling, stiffness, weakness and instability.
Sprain
Sprain injuries to the arm usually involve symptoms of pain, stiffness and weakness.
Arthritis
Arthritis injuries are characterised by pain, swelling, stiffness, weakness and locking symptoms.
Arm injuries in personal injury claims
If you have suffered an arm injury as a result of a third parties’ negligence then you will be able to recover a compensation payment. Arm injuries are likely to be very debilitating, even where your symptoms are minor as a result of your usage of the arm becoming impaired.
Value of arm injuries in personal injury claims
When claiming for personal injury as a result of an arm injury you will be able to recover a payment for the pain, suffering and loss of amenity which is a direct result of the symptoms. You will also be able to recover other losses of a more secondary nature.
You can recover a compensation payment for and care and assistance you have required from family and friends as a result of the use of your arm being impaired. This type of claim would be valued by assessing how many hours per day over any given period you have required care and assistance and attributing an hourly rate for the care. Even if you have not actually incurred real financial outlay for care and assistance you can recover a payment.
Arm injury rehabilitation
If your GP or our instructed medical expert confirms that your arm injury would benefit from some form of rehabilitation, i.e. physiotherapy, then Clear Law can instruct a suitably qualified rehabilitation provider in your local area to undertake any recommended course of treatment to aid your recovery.
Rehabilitation is a good example of how a personal injury claim is focused on aiding your recovery as well as acquiring financial compensation for your personal injury.
Employment issues caused by arm injuries
If your arm injuries have restricted your ability to perform in employment then it is possible to be reviewed by an occupational health advisor who will recommend relevant treatments, rehabilitation or alterations to your working conditions.
If you lose wages as a result of any absence from work or salary alteration due to your injury then Clear Law will be able to recover a compensation payment for the difference between what you should have received and had your arm injury not affected your earnings capacity.
