Occupational Hand and Wrist Injuries

The human body is capable of accomplishing a broad variety of different physical tasks and it depends upon the healthy and proper function of many different parts and systems to permit this. Despite this complexity, the nature of most occupations requires that workers utilize their hands to perform many of the responsibilities associated with their jobs. As a consequence of this heavy reliance on the hands, an injury to the hands has the potential to render an individual at least temporarily unable to work at full capacity.

If you have suffered an injury to your hand or wrist in the workplace then you are likely entitled to pursue the workers’ compensation benefits that must be provided under state law. These benefits can address the cost of medical care necessitated by your injury and may also grant you partial recovery of wages lost due to missed work time.

Potential Hand & Wrist Injuries

The hands and wrists are composed of numerous muscles, bones, connective tissues, nerves, vessels, and other anatomical structures. Their intricate nature is part of the reason that they are able to do some of the things that they can, but it also means that there are many different potential injuries that may be endured. Some of these may include:

• Nerve damage
• Fractured bones
• Sprained or strained wrists
• Severe lacerations
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Tendonitis
• Bursitis
• Amputations
