What Are Wrist Injury Claims?
Wrist injury claims let you pursue compensation if you’ve suffered a wrist injury following an accident or incident that was someone else’s fault. These incidents can happen after slips on wet supermarket floors, an accident at work, or after being knocked off your bike on Oxford Road, for example. If a third party’s negligence caused your injury, you might be entitled to claim for pain, lost income, and medical costs.
We are here to help if you want to know if you’re able to claim compensation for a wrist injury. We offer a free initial consulation where you can tell us what happened and ask any questions you might have. There’s no-obligation to act on our advice, so there’s no risk in getting in touch.
If your claim proceeeds, our solicitors will help by:
Gathering medical evidence and accident reports.
Explaining which losses you can include (like rehabilitation costs at local clinics).
Dealing directly with insurers and guiding you through every step.
To find out if you could make a wrist injury claim, please don’t hesitate to contact one of our specialist advisors.
Common Accidents That Might Lead To A Wrist Injury Claim
It’s quite common to put our hands out in front of us if we’re about to fall or be hit by something. Therefore, there are a multitude of different accidents that can cause wrist injuries. Some of the most common that we deal with include:
Slips, trips and falls in supermarkets, shopping centres or busy train stations like Manchester Piccadilly: Our solicitors will assess evidence, such as CCTV or witness statements, to demonstrate how negligence (for example, unmarked wet floors) caused your fall.
Accidents at work in factories, offices or construction sites: The team will check whether your employer followed health and safety regulations, reviewing equipment logs, training records or risk assessments to support the claim.
Road traffic accidents on major routes like the M60 or near venues such as the Manchester Arena: For car, cyclist or pedestrian claims, your solicitor will gather accident reports, police records and medical assessments to show the link between your injury and the incident.
Sports injuries in local gyms, football pitches or leisure centres: Where poor maintenance or inadequate supervision contributed to an accident, the team will look for maintenance records and league standards.
If you’ve been involved in any type of accident that has resulted in a wrist injury, why not let us check if we could help you claim compensation to cover your suffering?
What Are The Eligibility Criteria For Wrist Injury Claims?
Before we agree to help you claim compensation for a broken wrist (or another wrist injury), we’ll assess whether your case meets the following criteria:
The other party owed you a legal duty of care, for instance your employer, a business owner, or another road user under the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1957, Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 or Road Traffic Act 1988
There was a breach of that duty which directly led to an accident or incident.
As a result of the accident, you suffered a wrist injury (such as a fracture, sprain, tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or ligament tears)
We know that it’s not always clear whether you have grounds to take action. That’s why we offer a free consultation, so you can seek legal advice from a specialist. If you’d like us to verify your right to claim for a wrist injury, please call today.

The main types of evidence your solicitor will try to present to bolster your wrist injury claim inclued:
Medical evidence: Doctors’ reports, X-rays, MRI results and treatment records.
Accident reports: Incident forms from workplaces or venues, such as an event at AO Arena or a supermarket slip, confirm that the accident occurred.
Photographs and CCTV: Images of the accident scene or security camera footage from public areas along Oxford Road or Piccadilly illustrate how the injury happened.
Witness statements: Testimonies from people present at the time provide independent accounts, which add credibility.
Financial documentation: Payslips, purchase receipts and records of additional expenses evidence your losses and help value your claim.

How Long Do I Have To Start A Wrist Injury Compensation Claim?
The standard time limit for starting a wrist injury compensation claim in England and Wales is three years from the date of your accident. If you’ve suffered a repetitive strain injury because of poor working conditions, for example, the 3 years begins from the date your injury was diagnosed.
If you want to claim compensation for a child who has injured their wrist, you can do at any point before they turn 18 years of age. If no claim is made by then, they have until their 21st birthday to claim.
Finally, you can claim on behalf of a loved one who lacks mental capacity to manage the claims process at any point because there is no time limit in these cases.
