Damages for crushed hand

A man who suffered injuries to his left hand after it was crushed in a paper machine has received compensation. The man had worked for a company for just seven months when he was asked to help a colleague fix a paper jam on a machine. He was not trained on the machine but was told to pull the paper while his colleague activated the rollers. His hand was crushed between them. He had to have surgery to fix a fractured index finger and to mend lacerations to his other fingers. He may have to undergo more surgery and has been left with extensive scarring of the whole hand.
