Have you suffered a serious hand injury?

If you've suffered a serious injury because of an auto accident, fall, or burn - or you've suffered a work related hand injury because of an unguarded or improperly guarded piece of machinery and equipment, we may be able to help you recover monetary damages.

Hand Injury settlements and verdicts 

Here are examples of clients we have successfully helped receive hand injury compensation:

  • A worker in a pet food factory suffered a near amputation of his left hand when it was caught in the unguarded hopper door of a mixing machine. The case, handled by Galfand Berger products liability attorney Richard M. Jurewicz,  resulted in a verdict which awarded $2.25 to the plaintiffs.
  • A machine operator sustained crushing injuries to his right hand when it was caught in an unsafely guarded industrial paper rewinding machine.
  • A construction worker suffered fractures of both elbows and post-concussion syndrome when he fell and landed on his outstretched arms using unsafely designed industrial walking stilts.
  • A housekeeper received an electric shock from an electric range that resulted in shock-hyperemia (increased the blood flow) to right forearm and photophobia (light sensitivity of right eye) because the electrical contractors failed to properly ground the power cord of the range.
  • A farmer accidentally fell into an unguarded auger of a forage blower and severely mangled his left arm.
  • A homeowner was operating a riding mower when the mower rolled backwards down a hill, flipped over, and the rotating blades amputated the rider's fingers. Although his fingers were re-attached, he lost 90% of the use of his hand.

What can I expect if I contact a hand injury attorney? 

  • Step 1: Free Hand Injury Case Evaluation - Once you request a free case evaluation, one of our attorneys will contact you to discuss the specifics of your case. In our call, we will ask you about the facts surrounding the events leading up to the hand injury and the details of the injuries you suffered. 
  • Step 2: Working with Your Hand Injury Attorney - Once we have the facts, we will discuss whether you have a viable case. If so, your hand injury lawyer will start building your case by collecting relevant information so he or she can re-enact the situation when the injury occurred before a judge or jury. 
  • Step 3: Hand Injury Settlement or Trial - Your case will continue until your lawyer can negotiate a fair settlement or your case goes to trial. While we handle all cases as quickly as possible, the length of time varies from case to case. Keep in mind - it is crucial to collect as much information as possible before presenting your case because once you settle your claim, you cannot go back for more money if you realize your injuries are more severe than you thought.

Can I be compensated for my hand injuries?

In order to receive money for damages, you must show that someone else was responsible for the injury. That someone or company could be

  • the driver of the car which struck you
  • the driver of the car in which you were the passenger
  • the owner, or occupier of the place where you fell
  • the designer, manufacturer, seller or installer of machinery or equipment by which you were injured
  • or someone whose carelessness or negligence contributed to your accident and injury

Your lawyer can help you determine who was responsible for the injury and what damages you may be able to recover.

Can I be compensated if I am partially at fault? 

In many situations, you must also consider whether your own carelessness contributed to the accident. Often, even if your own carelessness partly caused the accident, you can still receive partial compensation from the other person or people who were also partly responsible for your injury. During negotiations, you and the other side's insurance adjuster will negotiate who bears the greatest responsibility for the injury and how much you can be compensated.
