Many of these are individual factors that will vary from person to person, so we can’t tell you now how much compensation you’d be likely to receive, but Judicial College guidelines for the assessment of General Damages in personal injury cases do give a rough indication of what you can claim specifically for your injury, before the financial consequences and other considerations are looked at.
For example, they state that a person could receive between £3,710 and £5,500 in compensation for the partial loss of a little finger, and between £3,710 and £7,390 for losing the end of their middle or ring fingers.
Meanwhile, you could be awarded anything from £13,970 and £15,330 to the Ring or middle fingers £11,420 and £17,590 in compensation for the loss of and part of an index finger.
We should stress though that these are just guidelines and any amount of compensation you claim will be based on your specific circumstances.
In the most severe amputation cases - where both arms or legs have been amputated and you’ve suffered significant financial losses - you could be awarded more than £2,000,000 in compensation.
