Punctures: punctures occur when the wounds go under the skin and are deeper than the skin. Punctures almost always require medical attention
Burns: there are several different types of burns that could cause hand injuries, such as fire burns, chemical burns, or electrical burns. This is most likely common at construction sites when construction workers deal with hazardous materials. Victims could suffer first, second, third, or fourth degree burns.
Broken bones: broken bones result when there is a traumatic blunt force to the hand.
Sprains: this usually occurs from slip and fall accidents, when the victim reaches out their hand as they fall towards the floor.
Amputations: those who suffer very severe injuries to the hand will most likely have to have their hand amputated. This can cause very traumatic emotional experiences as the victim will try to cope with their amputation.

If you have experienced any of the above-mentioned hand injuries, contact our attorneys today to see how you can recover compensation for your medical bills, along with any future medical treatments you may need.

Wrist Injuries

Wrist injuries are oftentimes caused by carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel occurs at 8 different carpal points in the hand. There are several different ligaments attached to these points that could be easily injured from a traumatic blow. Symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome include tingling and burning. If you have experienced any of these symptoms, contact your doctor immediately to see how you can get medical assistance.

Carpal tunnel that has not been diagnosed could lead to severe injuries such as sprains, broken bones, and tendonitis.

When should I file my hand injury lawsuit?

Each state has different rules in place that determine when a lawsuit should be filed. This is referred to as the statute of limitations. If you file your lawsuit after this time limit, you will lose the right to file a lawsuit, along with the right to recover compensation.

In California, if you have sustained any hand injuries, you have two years from the date of the accident to file your lawsuit. If you file your lawsuit after 2 years have passed, you will lose the right to seek compensation, and have your case dismissed. That is why we advise everyone to seek medical assistance as soon as possible to make sure that you fall within the two-year period. Your time limit is also dependent on the people you are filing the lawsuit against. For example, if you are filing a lawsuit against a government entity, you have six months from the date of the accident to file the lawsuit.

How much do our hand injury attorneys cost?

Our hand injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, which means that we will only collect a percentage of compensation when we win the lawsuit in your favor.
