Understanding wrist injuries

Wrist injuries from road traffic accidents can vary widely in severity, including:

Fractures: These often require surgery and extensive rehabilitation. The wrist is a complex joint comprising eight small bones connected to the two long bones in the forearm (the radius and ulna). Fractures can occur in any of these bones, with the most common being fractures of the radius (distal radius fracture).

Sprains and Strains: A wrist sprain occurs when the ligaments (the tough bands of tissue that connect bones) are stretched or torn. Ligament damage can range from mild stretching (Grade I) to partial tears (Grade II) to complete tears (Grade III).

Soft Tissue Injuries: Damage to muscles, ligaments, and tendons, leading to pain, swelling, and reduced movement.

Nerve Damage: Injuries that affect the nerves in the arm, causing numbness, tingling, or weakness.

Steps to take after a wrist injury

Seek Medical Attention: Your health is the top priority. Obtain immediate medical care and follow all prescribed treatments.

Report the Accident: Notify the police and ensure the accident is officially recorded. Obtain a copy of the accident report.

Gather Evidence: Collect photos of the accident scene, contact details of witnesses, and all medical records related to your injury.

Consult a Lawyer: Contact a personal injury lawyer with expertise in arm injury claims to discuss your case and start the legal process.

Types of compensation you may be entitled to

Medical Expenses: Covering current and future medical bills, surgeries, rehabilitation, and therapy costs.
Lost Wages: Compensation for lost income and loss of earning capacity due to your injury.
Pain and Suffering: Financial support for physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life.
Additional Costs: Reimbursement for travel expenses, home adaptations, and other accident-related costs.
