When an accident leads to a severe arm or hand injury, it can drastically affect every aspect of your life. Our arms and hands are essential for almost every daily task—whether at work, home, or recreational activities. The loss of function or severe injury to these vital parts of the body can cause lifelong consequences, leaving victims with physical, emotional, and financial challenges.
One of the leading causes of serious arm and hand injuries, including amputations, is work-related accidents. Whether you work in construction, manufacturing, or another physically demanding field, you are at risk of suffering severe injuries to your upper limbs. These injuries can include fractures, rotator cuff tears, hand crushing, lacerations or even the loss of a limb. Workers injured on the job typically expect to receive workers' compensation benefits. However, it’s not always that simple. Insurance carriers may often deny or undervalue claims, leaving the injured worker in a difficult situation.
In addition to the physical pain and challenges of losing an arm or hand, victims may also face emotional and psychological issues. One such condition is Phantom Limb Syndrome, in which the person feels sensations in a limb that no longer exists. This can be an incredibly distressing experience, causing both physical discomfort and severe emotional distress for those dealing with the trauma of limb loss. The mental health impact can be just as significant as the bodily injury, leading to long-term challenges that require specialized treatment and support.
Injuries to the arm or hand often extend beyond just the hand or forearm. For example, shoulder injuries like rotator cuff tears, elbow injuries, wrist injuries, and damage to the hand can be the result of a traumatic incident. These injuries can significantly impact your ability to perform daily activities or return to work.
In North Carolina, several types of arm and hand injuries may warrant a personal injury lawsuit if caused by someone else's negligence. Here are some common injuries that could justify a claim:
If any of these injuries occurred due to someone else’s negligence—whether in a workplace, car accident, or in public—you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain, and suffering. Consult a personal injury lawyer to help determine if you have a valid case.
If you've suffered an arm or hand injury due to someone else's negligence, you have specific rights to seek compensation and hold the responsible party accountable. Here are the key rights you have under North Carolina law:
You have the right to be compensated for all medical costs related to your injury. This includes emergency room visits, surgery, rehabilitation, physical therapy, and any future medical care needed due to your arm or hand injury.
If your injury prevents you from working, you are entitled to compensation for the wages you’ve lost during your recovery. This can include both short-term and long-term lost income if your injury affects your ability to return to work or requires you to work in a lower-paying job.
You have the right to seek compensation for the physical pain, emotional distress, and mental anguish caused by the injury. This includes both the immediate pain of the injury and the long-term suffering due to permanent disability or disfigurement.
If your arm or hand injury results in permanent disability, such as loss of function, amputation, or chronic pain, you have the right to seek damages for your diminished quality of life. This includes future medical expenses and any accommodations you may need for the rest of your life.
If someone’s negligence caused the injury, you have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit to pursue compensation for your losses. This includes accidents caused by careless drivers, unsafe work conditions, defective products, or dangerous property conditions. You don’t have to bear the financial burden alone if someone else is at fault.
You have the right to seek medical treatments that help manage your pain and aid in your rehabilitation. This may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, or psychological counseling if your injury leads to mental health issues like depression or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
If your injury occurred at work and you file a claim for workers' compensation or pursue legal action, North Carolina law protects you from retaliation or discrimination by your employer. You cannot be fired, demoted, or otherwise penalized for exercising your right to seek compensation.
If the injury occurred while you were working, you may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits for medical treatment, lost wages, and rehabilitation.
If your arm or hand injury results in permanent scarring or disfigurement, you have the right to seek compensation for the emotional and social impact these changes may have on your life. This can include reimbursement for reconstructive surgery or cosmetic procedures if needed.
You have the right to legal representation. A personal injury attorney can help you navigate the legal process, gather evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries.
Keep detailed records of your medical treatment, lost wages, and any other costs associated with your injury.
