Wrist Injuries
Wrist injures resulting in complete loss of function in the wrist where an arthrodesis (permanent surgical immobilization of a joint) has been performed would bring in damages of £27,750 to £34,850.
A wrist injury where there is significant permanent disability with some useful movement still remains could result in a compensation award of £14,250 to £22,650.
Less severe wrist injuries where there is still a degree of persisting pain and stiffness and some permanent disability the amount would be in the region of £7,375 to £14,250.
The amount you would receive for distal radius fracture (Colles’) would be in the region of £4,300.
A minor injury where there is a virtual full recovery within a matter of months and only needed a plaster or bandage would result in damages of £2,000 to £2,800. If the injury was from a fracture or soft tissue damage and the recovery took a little bit longer the award would rarely exceed £5,850.
