Arm Injury Compensation
Arm injury compensation claims include injuries to the upper and/or lower part of the arm. Injuries to the arm are often sustained in road traffic accidents, workplace accidents and falling accidents. Sometimes, an arm injury may result following a medical negligence incident.
Types Of Arm Injury
A few of the more typical types of injury that result in arm injury compensation are below:
- Muscle damage to either the biceps or triceps
- Torn or damaged ligament
- Broken bones including damage to the ulna or the radius
- Amputation of one or both arms
- Simple fracture of the forearm

Effects Of An Arm Injury
There is a wide and varied scale of arm injuries. The more minor ones are often those involving soft tissue damage and minor fractures which heal within weeks and months. These injuries can still prevent you from working or enjoying hobbies on a temporary basis.
Some injuries can also result in long-term disability and on-going pain, limiting your ability to work.
What Will My Arm Injury Compensation Include?
If you have been injured in an accident that was not your fault then you could be able to make a compensation claim. For your claim to be successful you will need to demonstrate that your arm injury was not your fault.
If you are successful then your claim will consist of financial losses, including loss of earnings if you have been unable to work either temporarily or permanently. If you have had to pay for medical expenses in relation to your arm injury then you should also be compensated for that. For example, you may have had to pay for physiotherapy sessions.
As well as financial losses your compensation will also take cognisance of the level of pain and suffering you have endured in your accident. This will take into consideration any physical or psychological effects.
