Expertise And Understanding From Irwin Mitchell
Employers have a duty to protect our health and safety in the workplace. This includes protecting us from tendon conditions, in all their various forms, which can be painful, debilitating and long-lasting.
If your employer has failed to protect you adequately against tendon damage, whether from a one-off incident or repetitive strain, you may be able to make a claim for tendon injury compensation.
At Irwin Mitchell we fight fearlessly to achieve the best outcome for your tendon injury claim. We’re renowned for our understanding of the issues affecting you and your family due to tendon related problems, and we know what positive action to take to make a difference.
Our lawyers offer the highest level of professionalism and expertise, combined with dedication and sensitivity.
Above all, we put you first.
Handling Tendon Injury Claims With Expertise And Sensitivity
The tendons in the arm attach muscle and bone, allowing one to pull or release the other to move the arm, hand and fingers.
Not surprisingly, they can become inflamed where the work is highly repetitive, requires the sustained use of force or sustained poor postures. Injury is more likely where the work involves a combination of these risk factors. This inflammation is known as tendonitis.
These include:
- Tendon Problems, including tendonitis
- Tenosynovitis
- De Quervain's Disease
- In studies, the following types of worker have been shown to suffer tendon problems particularly frequently:
- board manufacturers
- sewers
- packers
- assembly line workers
People who are new to jobs or whose tendons have changed with the ageing process are also more vulnerable to tendon injuries.
Although rare, overuse of a specific tendon at work over a long period can even cause structural fatigue resulting in the snapping of a tendon.
Irwin Mitchell has a team of solicitors with specialist knowledge of tendon problems caused by issues at work. We’ll help you through the tendon injury claims process from beginning to end, and help you to secure the compensation you deserve.
