Loss of Index Finger Compensation
Because of much use it gets, the index finger is the digit that gets injured more than any other, therefore the loss of an index finger can lead to severe consequences for your daily life.
The loss of an index finger will see compensation higher than most other fingers, aside from the thumb. For example, if you lost a pinky finger, then the compensation amounts will be far less than that offered for the index finger, given the importance it has for hand and function movements.
As a general guide, the compensation amounts awarded for the loss of an index finger can range between £2,500 and £13,500 – with the higher amounts being claimed in most cases.
Example Claim for a Lost Index Finger
Below is an example of where an office worker lost their index finger, including the circumstances of the workplace accident:
Jane is a left-handed typist working for an insurance company. Her role means that she has to be very accurate and fast whilst typing customer information that comes through on the telephone. At work one day a table collapsed, catching her index finger, and completely severing it.
The loss of her index finger meant that she was no longer able to work as a typist. Because of this, she was awarded a large compensation amount for pain and suffering, loss of wages, and future earnings.
This is a typical scenario often seen where someone loses a finger at work and how it is so relevant to their future employment.
