Compensation for arm injuries relate to the degree of loss of use and vary greatly as follows.

Amputation

The value of this award depends on whether both arms are lost (£140,500 - £174,500) or just one arm.  If one arm is lost, the award varies depending on whether amputation occurs at the shoulder (not less than £79,00), above the elbow (£63,625 - £76,350) or below the elbow (£56,000 - £63,625).

Other Arm Injuries

These types of injuries vary from "Severe" (£56,000- £76,350) which means that although the arm was not amputated, the loss of use is almost as bad as if it had been, to "Simple Fractures" (£3,800- £11,200).
