Needlestick – Psychological Injuries

Needlestick – Psychological Injuries

We can tell you repeatedly that the chances of catching anything from a needlestick injury are very low. We can show you all the statistics and percentages which show that you have an extremely low chance of catching anything at all, never mind anything serious or long term. We can and will happily do all of that BUT when you have just suffered a needlestick injury then none of those figures count for anything.

When you are the one at the centre of it all, it is frightening. There is no getting away from that.

Most of us automatically think of the worst-case scenarios. You do not want to of course but it is difficult not to.

The days, weeks or in extreme cases, months, between suffering the injury and hopefully getting the tests back with the ‘all clear’ can be horrendous – sleepless nights, anxiety, panic attacks and even long-term depression or PTSD can all arise from a simple pin prick.

The psychological impact of suffering a needlestick injury is all too real and we at Russell Worth solicitors know that. The sooner you contact us the sooner we can start to help you, help you to get the financial support you need and deserve and private medical treatment if necessary to help you cope at this most difficult of times.

Russell Worth solicitors will only ever act on a no win no fee basis, it is free to contact us and you are under no obligation to pursue a case.
