Expertise And Understanding From Irwin Mitchell
Sadly, workplace injuries are all too common. One common affliction involves repetitive strain injuries (RSI) which is a general term for an injury to the upper limbs.
If you have suffered RSI from work due to repeated hand and wrist movements, then you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation, regardless of whether the injuries occurred at your current place of work or a former workplace.
Contracting RSI from work can be stressful, affecting both your personal and professional life. Irwin Mitchell has a thorough understanding of RSI from work claims and we can offer professional support and advice to help you get the compensation you deserve.
Handling Your RSI From Work Claim With Dedication And Sensitivity
People who have suffered RSI from work often complain of the following symptoms:
- Aches or pain in the arms
- A burning sensation in the arms, wrists or hands
- A 'seizing up' sensation in the forearm
- A weakened grip
Employers have a legal responsibility to ensure that health and safety regulations are met and to protect their employees from RSI at work. We understand the distress and pain that can be caused by RSI from work and although compensation will not erase this, it will help you to move on with your life and cover any suffering and losses.
In 2007-2008 more than 500,000 people in the UK believed they were affected by a musculoskeletal disorder as the result of their employment. We recognise the huge scale of the RSI from work problem and we have a specialist workplace illness team with years of experience of RSI claims.
