Yes, severe or untreated workplace hand injuries can result in long-term disability. Damage to bones, nerves, or tendons may limit hand movement and strength permanently. In some cases, employees may be unable to return to their previous jobs if hand function is not restored.
Chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced dexterity are common consequences when injuries aren’t treated promptly or correctly. This is why timely intervention is so important—not only to treat the injury but also to protect long-term quality of life.
