Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Do you think you may be suffering from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, as a result of your hand and wrist repetitively moving at work? You may be entitled to make a Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Compensation Claim.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a medical condition caused by the compression of the median nerve located inside the carpal tunnel of each wrist. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome may, in severe cases, result in you having to take time off work for treatment and in order to make a full recovery, which may mean financial loss to you or your family. A successful claim for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Compensation may not only help to provide financial support but may encourage the employer to reduce the number of repetitive wrist movements in your daily work routine. Your employer has a duty to ensure you are using the correct tools for the job you are required to do; including equipment that has been designed to reduce the risk of wrist injury.
