Arm injury in the context of a sporting accident may result in a broken bone from an illegal tackle in a rugby match or a dislocated elbow from a slip on a dangerous or unplayable pitch. 

Exercising with faulty or poorly-maintained gym equipment made available for use can also cause an arm injury. 

Arm injury claims may come from poor training or poor advice from a coach leading to a fracture or muscle and tendon damage.

Road traffic accident arm injuries happen a lot to motorbike riders and cyclists. They can be hit by a car or bus and, as a vulnerable road user, can easily break an arm in the accident.

School playground arm injury claims might arise if your child injures an arm on unsafe surfaces or falls from poorly maintained equipment.

You may also have a claim if the child injures an arm due to inadequate supervision in the playground. A poorly maintained play area with unguarded areas that should be cordoned off can lead to arm injuries, and you might have a claim for compensation in these circumstances.

A slips, trips and falls arm injury might happen because of a wet floor,  a faulty staircase or when equipment is left out on a public pavement or a corridor at work. You could suffer an arm injury in a trip over unguarded cables at a concert or a slip on a wet floor at the gym. 

You may have an arm injury claim if the slip, trip or fall was not your fault, and a personal injury solicitor can advise you on the claim.

Compensation for arm injury claims ranges from the £4,000 to more than £240,000 in the more serious claims.

Using dangerous equipment when untrained or unsupervised might lead to you losing a finger and having a possible finger injury claim for compensation.

Losing a finger in a road traffic accident can happen to the driver or passenger in a car. The crush impact of hitting another car or a wall can slice off a finger on the spot. You may also lose one or more fingers later if the A&E staff think they are beyond saving.

A finger crush injury in the school playground can happen quickly if the children are not properly supervised. Children will put their hands and fingers anywhere and can lose or badly injure themselves when not adequately supervised around dangers in the school that should be cordoned off.

Vibration White Finger injury is a workplace injury from the continuous use of vibrating tools. Workers in the construction, road and demolition industries often get VWF from using power drills, grinders and jackhammers for long periods of time without sufficient breaks. The vibrating can cause permanent circulation problems in your fingers. 

You might be eligible for finger injury compensation if your employer was negligent in their duty of care to you when using power tools at work.
