White finger claims

Your employer is responsible for keeping you safe at work.

For anyone who regularly uses hand-held vibrating tools and machinery, this includes protecting you against vibration white finger – also known as hand-arm vibration syndrome.

Strict health and safety regulations are in place to address this, and employers should closely control exposure to such tools, setting time limits and providing appropriate personal protective equipment (e.g. anti-vibration gloves).

If that wasn’t the case – and you’ve developed this uncomfortable condition as a result – it’s worth contacting our specialists. You may be entitled to vibration white finger compensation, and we can help.

To discuss your case, simply give us a call on 0800 110 5888.

How can we help?

Vibration white finger syndrome can vary from person to person in terms of its severity.

In mild cases, damage to the nerves and blood vessels may only affect the fingertips. However, symptoms tend to worsen over time, and as it becomes more serious, flare-ups can become longer and more frequent – having an increasingly negative impact on quality of life.

Industrial, construction and agricultural jobs carry an enhanced risk

This is because the use of vibrating machinery – such as chainsaws, hammers and pneumatic drills – is particularly commonplace. But in practice, any form of excessive vibration can cause small and repetitive injuries which, eventually, lead to the symptoms of this condition.
