Causes of pin prick, sharps and needle stick injuries

Needle stick injuries (also known as sharps injuries) can happen for a number of reasons; you may work in or be a visitor  to a hospital, dentist or health centre, you may work for the local council or contractor and be required to clear land where there is a known risk of this type of accident occurring. Whatever the cause or circumstances of your accident you need to seek expert legal advice to see whether or not you have a claim; our expertise can help you to claim the compensation you deserve.

Suffering a needle stick injury

If you have suffered a needle stick injury you will know the worry and stress they can cause. Hopefully you will not become infected by a blood borne virus (bbv) but you may still be required to undergo treatment such as PEP to reduce the risk of infection. You may be required to have tetanus jabs. Whatever the outcome of your injury we can help you claim the compensation you deserve.

You are entitled to claim for:

• Pain and suffering; this includes mental as well emotional injury, stress and upset caused by the incident to you and your family
• Lost income as a result of time from work for recovery and treatment
• The costs of any treatment you may need as a result of the accident
• Care and help from friends while you may be incapacitated even if you didn’t pay them for their services.
• Other and all financial losses arising from the incident.

Claiming for stress caused by a needlestick injury

At Gartons we understand the emotional and mental damage of a needle stick injury can be far worse than the physical side and will make sure that the damages and compensation you receive reflect the problems you may have had and that you get the compensation you deserve.

And we can help you on a ‘No Win-No Fee’ basis this means that if we are successful with your claim the other side pay our legal fees and you don’t pay us a penny if we can get compensation for you then you won’t pay us a penny for the work we have done, basically you don’t pay us a penny; win or lose.
