Expertise And Understanding With Your RSI Claim
RSI, or repetitive strain injury, describes the damaging of the muscles and nervous system that is caused by repetitive actions. It is a condition that commonly affects people working in a wide range of industries.
The number of claims for RSI has increased significantly in recent years and although regulations exist to protect workers from developing RSI, the condition continues to affect thousands of people every year.
If you feel that you may have developed RSI or any form of repetition based injury, you could be entitled to compensation.
Irwin Mitchell's industrial injury solicitors have specialist expertise in dealing with RSI claims. We know what positive action to take to make a difference to you and we can give you expert advice on making a RSI compensation claim.
Reassurance And Dedication With Your RSI Claim
Repetitive strain injury can affect anybody who performs repetitive tasks on a regular basis through the course of their work. Typical causes of RSI include:
- Prolonged periods of typing or computer use
- Repeated use of the hands, wrists, back or neck
- Poor posture
- Repeated heavy lifting
- Regular forceful bending of the wrist or forceful pinch grips
Sufferers of RSI can experience significant long term pain and discomfort, including painful and aching arms, weakness of grip and a sensation of seizing up in the forearm.
Employers have a duty of care to minimise the risk of RSI to their employees. Where employers fail in this duty, those affected have a right to claim compensation.
