Expertise And Understanding With Your Repetitive Strain Injury Claim
Repetitive strain injury is a condition that damages the muscles and nervous system and is commonly caused by repetitive actions. As such, repetitive strain injury is a common affliction for workers in a number of industries, especially if they commonly use the same tools or motions.
The number of people claiming for repetitive strain injury in recent years has increased dramatically. Although health and safety regulations are in place to protect against people developing repetitive strain injury, if you have developed the condition as part of your job, you could make a claim for compensation.
Irwin Mitchell's specialist industrial injury solicitors have a long history in handling repetitive strain injury claims. We know what positive steps need to be taken and we can offer expert advice and guidance throughout the claims process.
Handling Repetitive Strain Injury Claims With Compassion And Expertise
Repetitive strain injury can affect anyone who performs repetitive tasks in their daily working lives. Typically, causes of repetitive strain injury include:
- Regular or prolonged typing or computer use.
- Repetitive hand motions of the wrists, back and hands.
- Poor posture/support
- Repeated heavy lifting
- Regular forceful bending of the wrist or forceful pinch grips
Those who suffer from repetitive strain injury often experience long term pain or discomfort in their joints and muscles, including painful or aching arms or wrists, a weakened grip and muscle seizures.
Every employer has a duty of care to their employees and should take steps to minimise the damage that repetitive strain injury can cause. This could involve providing ergonomic equipment and encouraging correct posture. If your employer has failed in their duty to protect you, you could be entitled to make a claim for repetitive strain injury compensation.
