A trigger finger claim may be made in the event that you develop the injury as a result of workplace conditions and it causes such severe discomfort and disability as to result in you suffering pain and financial loss.
What is trigger finger?
Trigger finger, also known as stenosing tenosynovitis, is a Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) that can result in the finger or thumb being locked into a bent or flexed position.
In many people, trigger finger will go away after some time or will not cause significant inconvenience – however, in some cases the injury may be accompanied by significant scarring or knotting to the tendons in the finger or thumb, causing the tendon to become repeatedly stuck in the tendon sheath.
In such chronic cases, those affected may find it impossible to perform some basic tasks and may even become medically retired as a result.
Who suffers from trigger finger?
In many cases trigger finger occurs as a result of genetic factors or because of underlying illness. However, in other cases it may be classed as an industrial disease and a trigger finger claim may be possible.
Those workers who may develop trigger finger as a result of workplace conditions include those who use vibrating machinery, those who work in offices, and those who work in factories.
