Wrist Injuries
Any injury to your wrist can have a lasting effect on both movement and flexibility
Most wrist injuries result from a fall. The instinctive reaction of putting your hand out to save yourself very often results in a fracture of one or both of the bones of the forearm which may extend to the articular surfaces of the wrist joint. Damage may also be sustained to one or more of eight small bones that sit at the base of the hand. In particular, the scaphoid or trapezium.
Complications can include vascular disruption (which may prevent the fracture from healing) and arthritis but very often such complications do not become apparent for some months or even up to two years or so after the injury occurred. To make sure that insurers can't exploit this to deprive you of compensation which you are entitled to it is important to obtain medical evidence that is clear in relation to the risk of any future deterioration together with the help of a personal injury lawyer with specialist knowledge and experience of this type of injury.
We have the experience of working with clients to secure substantial compensation payments on their behalf as well as ensuring that they receive the support they need in their recovery and rehabilitation.
