Common injuries
Vibration white finger doesn't stay at work. The damage to your nerves, blood vessels and muscles follows you home and affects everything you do. If you're dealing with industrial accident compensation symptoms, we can help.
The earliest warning signs. Tingling starts in your fingertips and gradually spreads, making simple tasks increasingly difficult.
Fingers turn white in cold weather as circulation shuts down. Episodes can last over an hour, followed by painful throbbing.
Buttoning shirts, picking up coins, holding tools — your hands lose the precision and strength you once took for granted.
Blood vessels in your fingers take permanent damage from constant vibration. This restricts blood flow and causes painful flare-ups.
Carpal tunnel syndrome often develops alongside HAVS. The median nerve in your wrist gets damaged, leaving permanent numbness.
Time off work, reduced hours, abandoned careers. Hobbies, DIY, sports — vibration white finger takes them all away from you.

Common questions
Everything you need to know about making a HAVS claim. Can't find your answer? Call us on 0333 006 8282.
Yes, if you developed vibration white finger or HAVS from using vibrating tools at work, and your employer failed to provide proper protection or ignored safety regulations, you can claim compensation. You're exposed to constant vibration that damages nerves and blood vessels, your employer had a legal duty to limit that exposure.
We see workers struggling with numbness, lost grip strength, and inability to do their jobs. None of that should be your burden. Call us on 0333 006 8282. It's No Win, No Fee¹.
Absolutely. If your employer broke the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005 by failing to limit your exposure time, provide anti-vibration gloves, or monitor your health, they're liable for your HAVS claim. Your employer's insurance company pays the compensation, not your employer directly.
Compensation depends on the severity of your condition and how it affects your daily life and work. Mild HAVS cases typically range from £3,310 to £7,360, while severe cases with significant grip loss and permanent damage can be worth considerably more. You can also claim for lost earnings, medical costs, and impact on your quality of life.
No. UK employment law protects you from being dismissed for claiming compensation. If your employer fires you for making a HAVS claim, that's unfair dismissal, and you can claim additional compensation on top of your vibration white finger settlement. We handle everything confidentially.
Chainsaws, pneumatic drills, angle grinders, concrete breakers, and any power tools that vibrate can cause HAVS. Even 15 minutes daily use of hammer-action tools puts you at risk. Your employer should have limited your exposure time and provided anti-vibration gloves.
In many cases, the three-year period runs from when you knew, or ought reasonably to have known, that your symptoms may be linked to your work. Exceptions can apply, so it is worth checking your position promptly. It's No Win, No Fee¹.
Between 2009 and 2018, the Health and Safety Executive recorded 6,230 HAVS claims across the UK. In 2018 alone, 325 new vibration white finger and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome claims were registered.
These numbers show thousands of workers whose employers failed to protect them from preventable hand-arm vibration syndrome.
