Hand and wrist injuries are among the most common types of injuries simply because most of us use our hands constantly. However, some accidents are more likely to cause a hand or wrist injury than others; they include:

1. Slip and Falls: When someone slips, they may instinctively try to break their fall by extending their forearms. In fact, slip and falls are such common causes of hand and wrist injuries that medical professionals created the acronym FOOSH, which stands for “Fallen Onto an Out Stretched Hand.”
2. Car Accidents: A significant number of hand and wrist injuries are caused by traffic accidents. Since automobile crashes involve massive amounts of force, a person’s hands and wrists could be damaged if they brace themselves against the steering wheel or unexpected airbags.
3. Motorcycle and Bicycle Crashes: When someone falls off of a motorcycle or bicycle, their first point of impact is usually their head, hand, or wrist. Hand and wrist injuries are not unusual among motorcycle riders and cycling enthusiasts.
4. Sports Accidents: Contact sports are a leading cause of hand and wrist injuries. If a sports coach, school gym teacher, or athletic organization does not ensure that participants have adequate and well-maintained safety equipment, or they do not halt a game when conditions become unsafe, they could be held liable for any resulting injuries.
5. Medical Malpractice: Physicians should treat, heal, and cure hand and wrist injuries. However, physicians still make mistakes. When a doctor or other medical professional treats a hand or wrist injury improperly, they could exacerbate an existing injury or cause a new one.

While hand and wrist injuries have many causes, they all have the potential to impair an accident victim’s ability to navigate everyday life. If you, or a loved one, suffered a hand or wrist injury caused by another person’s negligence, you could be entitled to significant compensation. The Dietrich Law Firm, P.C., could help you secure the money you need to pay off your hospital bills, enroll in physical rehabilitation, and recover the income you lost from work. Please call us at (585) 939-3939 to schedule your free, no-hassle consultation.

The human hand is incredibly complex, and it is comprised of:

1. Phalanges: Each finger has three bones, or phalanges, while each thumb has only two.
2. Metacarpal Bones: These bones constitute the center of the hand.
3. Carpal Bones: The wrist is comprised of eight small bones, which are surrounded by tough tissue and ligaments. Five of these bones called the metacarpals, form a transverse arch that facilitates finger movement. The carpal bones connect the hand and the wrist.
4. Muscles: The hand has over 30 different muscles, which work together in complex ways.

Serious hand injuries can be painful, debilitating, and difficult to treat. If another person’s negligence caused your hand or wrist injury, you do not have to bear the burden alone.
