Dealing With Vibration White Finger
Vibration white finger (VWF) is a form of Raynaud’s Disease. It is triggered by continuous use of hand-held machinery that vibrates. Appropriate safety procedure requires that vibration exposure is assessed and limited for each worker. The use of a piece of machinery that vibrates slightly for a long time may cause as much damage as using a heavily vibrating tool for a short time. Trigger time is the amount of use of the vibrating tool when the worker has their finger on the trigger to make the tool run. Vibration amplitude can be measured or estimated by comparison.
Initially the fingers appear white and become cool. The small blood vessels become narrow. Next, they become blue because of oxygen depletion from narrowed blood vessels. Finally, they become bright red because the blood vessels open up again and adequate blood flow resumes. This may cause a tingling sensations and pain. Not everyone experiences color change, but still have discomfort and cold fingers. Symptoms vary from one individual to another.
Vibration white finger is an industrial injury that can be prevented by an employer
It is the responsibility of the employer to make sure that proper safety regulations are in place and enforced. If you were injured through no fault of your own and because of negligence on the part of your company or employer, you should have a strong case for compensation. Of course, it must be reviewed by a competent attorney to make sure the details of the case support your legal case. Document any medical treatment you receive and keep a journal of your symptoms to give to your attorney.
If you decide to pursue an injury claim, you will need to find a good claim solicitor. It can be helpful to ask your friends and family about law firms or lawyers who handle workers compensation cases. Interview the attorney or attorneys you will be working with you to make sure that they communicate effectively and have necessary skills and experience. You may be referred to a medical expert to confirm the extent of your injuries.
If you are not sure that you can collect compensation because your employer appeared to provide a safe environment. If you question your own responsibility for the accident, talk to an attorney. An experienced attorney will be able to tell you if your claim is sound. There may be legal details you have overlooked that affect the strength of your case. The amount you collect can be affected by any mistakes you made. For example, if you chose not to follow safety procedure after receiving appropriate training, you may not be able to collect as much on your case.
Don’t hesitate to gather information about worker compensation. Most law firms or solo attorneys offer free consultations to review your case. Even if your case occurred in the last few years, there may be assistance available to you. The only way to get the money you need and the rights you deserve is to take the first step and contact a legal professional. If you have vibration white finger, you deserve to receive damage for your work related injury.
