Elbow Injury Compensation – Expert Lawyers Advice

Elbow Injuries can cause significant problems; everyday tasks can be made extremely difficult to do yourself. There are commonly two types of elbow injuries – traumatic injuries caused as a result of an accident or singular instance, and repetitive strain injuries caused by damaging continuous elbow joint motion.

The most common traumatic injuries we see from accidents normally involve slipping on a wet floor, tripping on a hazard, or falling from a height. These accidents can cause impact injuries to your elbow, particularly as your instincts tell you to put out your hands to stop your fall which can cause the damage to the elbow, or just landing on the elbow can cause severe damage. The most common injuries we see here for claims are fractures, dislocation, or nerve damage.

The most common repetitive strain injuries are incurred as result of sport related injuries – for example tendinitis, or more commonly known as tennis elbow, which is normally caused when the elbow joint is overused.

When you’re injured, not being able to use your elbow can cause significant difficulties when it comes to general things in life, such as dressing, bathing, washing your hair, carrying shopping, or everyday household chores. And when it comes to fractures and dislocations, it could be weeks or even months until you are able to these tasks for yourself.

We take this kind if problem seriously when valuing your case. We always ensure to be as thorough as possible when it comes to the true extent of suffering the injury has caused to you.
