In chapter 3, Curleys hand was crushed by Lennie when George demands him to fight back. Curley is embarrassed that this happens to him. Carlson offers to say that his hand was "Caught in a machine" if Curley does not get Lennie and George fired by the boss. Curley then agrees to this decision.

If I can remeber I think Lennie broke it when Curley was beating him up. Like Lennie crushed his hand with his own hand.
