Expertise And Understanding From Irwin Mitchell
Repetitive strain injury is a common workplace ailment that affects the tendons in the hand and wrist. It is most commonly caused by continuous repetitive movements, and although regulations are in place to protect from workers from RSI, thousands of repetitive strain injury claims are made every year.
If you have suffered pain in your wrist or hand that could be the result of repetitive movements at work, you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation.

Our dedicated industrial injury solicitors have specialist knowledge of repetitive strain injury claims and understand how distressing and painful RSI can be. That is why we offer expert support and guidance to help you to secure the justice that you deserve.
Repetitive strain injury is a term that is commonly used by doctors when presented with the following:
- Complaints of pain that doesn't indicate injury to a specific tendon, muscle, nerve, or joint
Common symptoms of the condition include:
- Pain or aching in the arms
- A burning sensation in the tendons or muscles
- A sensation of seizing up in the forearm
- Weakened grip
Your employer has a responsibility to ensure that you are protected against repetitive strain injury and musculo-skeletal disease (a generic term for muscle, tendon, joint and upper-limb disorders). Where employers fail in this duty of care, you could be entitled to make a repetitive strain injury claim.
