Vibration White Finger Compensation Claims

Vibration White Finger, also known as HAVS white finger, is a serious condition linked to long term use of vibrating tools. If you have symptoms such as numbness, tingling, pain, or fingers turning white in the cold, you may be able to make a vibration white finger claim. Our claims specialists explain your options and guide you through the process.

Vibration White Finger, also called Vibration White Finger syndrome or Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS), arises from prolonged exposure to tools like jackhammers, grinders, chainsaws, sanders, and drills. It can damage nerves and blood vessels, affecting your ability to work and manage daily tasks.
