The Dangers of Hand and Finger Injuries
In many accidents resulting in serious injuries, people may also sustain significant trauma to their hands or fingers. For many individuals, these injuries require emergency medical care to prevent long-term health problems. They may also leave injured individuals out of work during recovery, as any dysfunction or disability involving the hands or fingers can slow down a person’s work progress or, in some cases, make working impossible.
If you’ve sustained an injury to your hand or fingers, there may be legal options available to help you pursue financial compensation for your injury-related expenses and loss of income during recovery. To discuss your claim options in further detail with a qualified legal professional, contact an injury attorney from Hull & Zimmerman, P.C., today by calling (303) 423-1770.
Consequences of Hand and Finger Injuries
People who sustain hand or finger injuries may find themselves unable to complete their work, as hand and finger dexterity is typically required for everything from secretarial tasks to construction work. Other consequences of these injuries can include the following:
- Long-term medical care for particularly severe injuries or injuries that develop infections
- Skin grafts and other intensive, expensive treatments for issues such as burn injuries
- Loss of income during recovery
- Loss of professional opportunities due to serious disability or amputation
If an injury is severe enough, a person may lose his or her hand or the affected fingers. This can drastically impact a person’s livelihood and quality of life.
