We have listed a few different scenarios in which an arm injury may occur where you could be eligible to claim compensation:

Accidents at Work : An employer is required to undertake risk assessments, provide you with relevant training and give you the right PPE equipment to carry out your role safely. If your employer fails in his his duty of care and you are injured you could claim compensation.
Repetitive Strain Injuries: These are also commonplace in the working environment and again if your employer doesn’t take steps to mitigate the risk you may be entitled to compensation.

Compensation for your loss of amenity and pain/suffering
This compensation describes what the courts have decided as an acceptable amount for arm injuries. In order for this to be established, you will visit a medical professional who will examine you, and your injury. They will discuss and evaluate how long your recovery will be, and whether or not there are likely to be any further complications.
Compensation for your loss of earnings
This compensation covers any financial losses you have occurred due to a result of your injury. For example, if you have had to have time off from work to recover from your broken arm, you can claim the income back. You can also claim any expenses such as mileage and medical treatments you have had to pay due to your injury. If necessary, you can also claim back the expenses of nursing help, if a friend or family member has helped to look after you whilst recovering.
What are the time Limits for Making an Arm Injury Compensation Claim?
Generally, where standard personal injury claims are concerned, you have 3 years from the date of your accident to begin your arm injury claim. There are some exceptions though, such as where a claimant is under 18 years old. In these cases they have 3 years from the date of their 18th birthday to start their claim.
Another exception is where the claimant may not have the mental capacity to pursue the claim themselves. In this type of case it is possible that the 3 year period will be waived.
