What counts as an arm injury?

There are a variety of different injuries you can sustain to your arms, many of which can seriously impede your day-to-day life. Below, we have compiled a list of some of the most common arm injuries; however, this list is by no means an exhaustive one, so if you don’t see your injuries here, that doesn’t mean you are not eligible for compensation, especially if your arm injury was a direct result of someone else’s negligence. We understand that every injury comes with its own set of unique circumstances, so it’s always best to reach out to an expert as soon as you feel like you have a claim, and one of our personal injury solicitors will be able to advise you.

Some of the arm injury claims our experts can assist you with include, but are not limited to:

  • Total or effective loss of one or both arms.
  • Shoulder injuries, including rotator cuff tears, dislocations, or shoulder impingements.
  • Elbow injuries including dislocations, fractures, or severe tendonitis.
  • Forearm injuries including sprains, strains, and mild fractures.
  • Wrist injuries, including sprains, mild fractures, or carpal tunnel syndrome.

Ways in which arm injuries can occur

Arm injury claims that are likely to result in compensation can stem from a variety of scenarios, all of which are often the outcome of accidents caused by someone else’s negligence. These scenarios include:

  • Workplace accidents where unsafe conditions, improper training, machinery incidents, faulty equipment, or insufficient safety measures lead to an arm injury.
  • Car accidents, where the impact can lead to arm fractures, broken bones, sprains, or soft tissue damage.
  • Slips, trips, and falls in public or work environments frequently cause injuries upon landing on the arm.
  • Medical negligence, where improper or incorrect treatment from a medical professional worsens an existing arm injury or causes new damage.

How long do you have to bring an arm injury claim?

Typically, you have three years from the date of your accident to file an arm injury compensation claim. However, under certain circumstances, there can be exceptions to this rule. For example, if the injured party is a child, the three-year period starts on their 18th birthday. Another example is, in situations when the full extent of the injury damage wasn’t apparent until much later, the time limit may be extended to three years from the date you became aware of the injury, which is known as the date of knowledge.

Understanding and navigating these timeframes can be difficult. That’s why it’s essential to reach out to one of our expert personal injury solicitors as soon as you suspect you may have a claim. Acting quickly allows us to address your case effectively and work towards securing the compensation you deserve, especially if you are dealing with a loss of earnings from being unable to work. Gathering any supporting evidence you may have can also help strengthen your case and our solicitors will help with this process.

Some examples include:

  • Medical records
  • Witness statements
  • A second expert opinion
  • Relevant photos (for example, depicting your injuries)
  • Financial records

While many arm injury compensation claims are resolved without the need to go to court, if your case does require judicial involvement, rest assured that a member of our personal injury team will be there to guide you through every step of the process.
