Needlestick Injury Compensation Claims Lawyers in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Perth and Dundee
Needlestick injuries can occur when a needle pierces or punctures your skin. They can also be known as sharps injuries. As well as needles, sharps can include other medical equipment such as scalpels, syringes and glass from broken equipment. If you have suffered from a needlestick injury, you could be entitled to compensation.
The majority of needlestick injuries are minor. However, once a needle or sharp has been used on someone, any virus that is present in their blood such as Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, or HIV could cause contamination.
Who is at risk of a needlestick injury?
Needlestick injuries might occur if you have been involved in an accident or incident at work, or through medical negligence. There are certain sectors where employees can be at a higher risk of a needlestick injury, such as:
