Needlestick Injury Claims – All You Need to Know.
If you need help with your Needlestick Injury Compensation Claim then you have arrived at the right place!
Personal injury arises when an individual’s skin is accidentally punctured by a hypodermic needle.
Although the needlestick injury can be painful it is frequently the risk of infection which represents the main cause of concern by the victim.
Needlestick injury can result in nasty diseases such as HIV, Hepatitis B and C.
It is often necessary for the victim to receive a course of immunisations as a precautionary measure against Needlestick injury.
We have also found that clients need counselling to help them come to terms with the psychological effects of the injury.
Funding for this can be provided as part of your personal injury claim.
Contact us to discuss your injury claim and we will be delighted to help you.
Who is most at risk of suffering a Needlestick Injury?
Health Care professions such as doctors, dentists, nurses, hospital porters or cleaners are probably most at risk as they are working in an environment where needles are commonly used. Injury Claims for health care workers are not at all out of the ordinary.
If the organisation responsible for the handling or disposal of the needle has proper procedures in place in relation to the use and disposal of needles then risks of infection will be minimal. There is always going to be an element of human error in this context. If so then negligence claims for personal injury will follow.
