Needlestick injury claims including injuries from scalpel or sharps are generally as a result of working in the health care profession in the UK.  Working in such environment you are exposed to such an injury on a daily basis and we understand that though the injury itself may be reasonably minor there is a serious risk of infection and this is exacerbated by the delay in diagnosis and the emotional and psychological pressure this will place you under.

Also other groups of workers who may deal with the public or work in areas where there is a risk of needlestick injuries are equally exposed to the risk of injury.

If you have been injured by a needlestick or sharps then please contact us immediately.
