Hand Injury Compensation Claims

Even if your hand injury claim does not qualify for a “no win, no fee” arrangement, there may still be other legal options to help you proceed with your hand injury claim. Many people have Legal Expenses Insurance through their home insurance, which may cover the costs of pursuing a claim. Moreover, if you are a member of a trade union, your union can cover the costs of legal fees, including those for hand injury claims. In your initial consultation with us, we will assess your case in complete depth and discuss all the funding options available to you to maximise your opportunity to win your no win no fee claims over the hand injury. 

Your compensation for a broken hand personal injury claim will in most cases be covered by an insurance company, depending on who was responsible for your injury. If, for instance, you are making a claim for a hand injury at work compensation against your employer due to a failure of training or adequate provision of equipment, then their employer’s liability insurance is likely to handle your claim. If the hand injury claims fall under the category of road traffic accident or poorly maintained public amenities (like dilapidated sports grounds), the liability for compensation payout for hand injury lies with the insurance party of the responsible party. 

In medical negligence cases, the common defendants are either the NHS or the private healthcare provider. For injuries sustained during criminal assaults, the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) may pay out compensation when the person responsible lacks the means. We are here to process all your claims, regardless of the circumstances, and help you get access to the hand injury compensation tool so that you can estimate the possible compensation amount for your claim. 

The CICA is an executive agency under the Ministry of Justice, designed to manage compensation claims for victims of violent crime. It’s quite important because it ensures victims can at least get the means through which they can recover their physical or psychological wounds from criminal assaults. For hand injuries due to criminal assault, CICA provides a pathway to compensation. Our team is experienced in processing broken hand injury claims through CICA on your behalf, ensuring that all necessary steps are taken to secure hand injuries compensation claims for your recovery. 

There is mostly a three-year time limit for making a UK hand injury claim. However, there are some exceptions to it. If you are claiming on behalf of a minor, then you can do so by their 18th birthday. Once the minor turns 18, then the child will have until their 21st birthday to make the claim personally. There is also no time limit for filing claims for those individuals who lack the mental capability to do so themselves. 

In most claims, if the injury was caused by criminal assault-for example, some broken hand injury claims-it is two years. However, sometimes you are permitted to extend this where you cannot act, perhaps owing to severe illness. With regard to injuries caused by defective products, you can file a claim within 10 years after a product was launched. In case the injury occurred outside the country, the statutory limits of time differ from country to country. Our seasoned lawyers can guide you on the specific guidelines for different regions. We urge you to contact us as soon as possible, irrespective of your situation. The sooner we start, the better our chances are of gathering effective evidence and building a strong hand injury claim case on your behalf. 

For those with long-term treatment expenses, interim compensation payments are given to assist in the short-term immediate costs, for example travel and medical visits, equipment, and even therapy awaiting final compensation. In these regards, such interim payments will offset your final hand injury compensation amounts UK. These can be a lifeline, especially in a severe broken hand injury claim that could involve considerable recovery time. At Claim Time Solicitors, we will guide you to what you are likely to receive as part of our overall hand injury claims service.  

At Claim Time Solicitors, we prefer out-of-court settlement of hand injury compensation claims as such an approach is less complicated for victims undergoing recovery. Where the opposite party refuses to accept liability or disputes the compensation offered in the case of a broken hand injury claim, we will take the matter to court for you to receive full compensation for your injuries. Most of them settle even when the case is already set for trial. However, in case your hand injury compensation case were to reach court, we will guide and advise you step by step.
