Arms can be injured in all manner of accidents, from road traffic accidents and accidents at work to sports injuries. Arm injuries can range from minor sprains, bruises and soft tissue damage to more severe multiple fractures and nerve damage, which can bring about chronic pain disorder for many months and sometimes even years after the injury has healed.
Compensation claims for arm injuries often involve crushing, for instance by heavy machinery at work or in a road traffic accident. Even if the injury does not lead to amputation, this injury is intensely painful, potentially severely debilitating and often psychologically traumatising.
One of the most common sports injuries to affect the arm is tennis elbow, which affects the outside of the elbow bone and develops when the tendon that joins the muscles of the forearm to the upper arm becomes inflamed or tears. It is referred to as tennis elbow as it is usually caused by repetitive movement, such as playing tennis regularly. However, you can suffer tennis elbow in the course of other repetitive movements, whilst playing other types of sport or using a keyboard or using vibrating equipment.
When taking into account compensation levels awarded in a successful claim, varying factors will be taken into consideration, such as extent of disability, loss of movement, whether the arm is the primary arm the person uses and if the injury affected cosmetic appearance in a major way. Find out whether your arm injury, whether suffered at work, in an accident or whilst playing sport, could make you eligible for a compensation claim by contacting Claim-Easy.
