Vibration White Finger Claims

Vibration White Finger Claims are made for an industrial injury caused by hand held vibrating machinery. Vibration white finger disease is the vascular component of Hand Arm Vibrating Syndrome, known as HAVS. It has been recognized as an industrial disease for many years, and a government scheme was set up to pay compensation to ex miners suffering from the disease.

HAVS is a secondary form of Reynaud's disease, and causes white fingers and numbness, and sometimes tingling in the fingers is associated with it. In persistent longstanding cases, the effects of can be quite severe. Proving the cause of the disease is important if vibration white finger claims are to be successful. Expert evidence may well be required for an individual case.
