Vibration white finger is a debilitating condition which can prevent its sufferers from enjoying a normal and fulfilling lifestyle. Although a vibration white finger claim cannot ease the pain the condition causes, it can help sufferers gain the help and support they need to regain an active lifestyle.
Often a result of nerve damage suffered from the use of vibrating machinery, vibration white finger or VWF, is commonly a work-related injury caused by poor health and safety practices.
Many VWF sufferers who have developed the condition through their work may have already made a compensation claim for their personal injury. However, while this may have covered a loss of earnings, it may not have provided sufficient cover for the loss of ability to perform simple household tasks.
Ex-miners have one of the highest rates of VWF and make up a large proportion of claimants for vibration white finger compensation. Between 1999 and May 2009, 179,000 miners claimed for VWF gaining a total of £1.7b in payouts. However, these did not all include payouts for loss of earnings and or services claims which cover the inability to carry out every day tasks.
Out of the 170,000 miners who made a VWF claim in the ten year time frame, only 59,000 miners submitted services claims which means they will not have received the total amount of compensation that could potentially be awarded to them. Services damages tend to be relatively high meaning that VHF sufferers are potentially losing out on large amounts of compensation which they are eligible for.
While miners may account for a large proportion of vibration white finger claims workers from other sectors, such as the construction industry who have also suffered this work injury, may also be entitled to make a second services claim to gain the full compensation owed to them.
If you have Vibration White Finger as the result of using vibrating tools, and you feel that your employer has not adequately maintained equipment that you had to use, you are likely to be eligible for personal injury compensation.
