Dupuytren`s contracture, often referred to as a ”claw” or ”miner`s claw,” is usually caused by the regular use of vibration tools and heavy industrial equipment common in construction and mining. If a condition affects your hands, it can have a significant impact on your mobility in everyday life. If you have developed Dupuytren`s contracture due to your employer`s safety deficiencies, our experienced lawyers can help you with your claim. There is a lot of debate about the exact causes of clawed hand, and some of the possible causes also include genetic predisposition, smoking, alcohol consumption, heart disease or diabetes. However, working in manual work is an important causal factor, and you can make a Dupuytren contract claim if we can prove that the work caused or worsened your condition. Other risk factors include lifestyle factors such as tobacco and alcohol consumption. People with diabetes may also be more likely to develop this condition, which may be related to your veteran`s disability claim.

Whether you`ve lost precision in your hands, suffered a weakened grip, or have a firm deformation in one or more numbers, we`re here for you. Dupuytren`s contracture, also known as palmar fascia, is a condition that causes deformities on the hand. Essentially, the elastic tissue (the fascia) thickens and tightens abnormally under the skin of the palm and fingers. The fascia is like a string that goes from the palm of the hand to the fingers. When the fascia thickens, it pulls the fingers down into the palm of the hand, resulting in limited range of motion and deformations. It usually affects the middle, ring and little fingers. This can make everyday activities simple like shaking hands, putting your hands in pockets, putting on gloves, typing on a keyboard, preparing food, and more difficult. Those who have difficulty stretching their ring finger and little finger may have Dupuytren`s contracture. This condition causes a limited range of motion in one or both hands. This complication can cause work items to fail to run.

If the condition is severe enough to prohibit them from working, people suffering from the disease can apply for disability insurance from social security. There are requirements that must be met to receive benefits. Understanding how the disease progresses and what symptoms underlie it can help people prepare for the application process. Who is entitled to claim disability benefits at work because Dupuytren`s contracture affects their fingers, and how? If you are entitled to an injury-at-work disability allowance for dupuytren`s contracture and you live in the UK, you may need a medical examination with a qualified healthcare professional. .
