The human hand is incredibly complex both in functionality and the types of injuries that may affect it, the loss of which is likely to see compensation settlements on par with the loss of an entire arm. Total or effective loss of both hands may warrant an award up to £120,000. Serious damage to both hands up to £50,000, where there is cosmetic disabilty and loss of function. 

Injuries can range from partial or total loss of a single finger or thumb including amputation, where typical settlements would be up to £50,000. Injuries to each of the component parts are assessed upon the importance of that part, for instance a thumb would alone be considered more important than the loss or impairment of a little finger and would therefore fetch higher compensation awards.  Moderate hand injuries, including crush injuries, up to £8,000 where permanant disability remains. Minor hand injuries up to £3,000

Because of the complexity of this type of injury it is very difficult to give guidance on the general damages awards without knowing more about your situation. If you have sustained a hand injury, please contact us for further information.
