Expertise And Understanding From Irwin Mitchell
Employers have a duty to protect our health and safety in the workplace. This includes protecting against nervous system injuries, such as damage to the ulnar nerve in your hand and cubital tunnel syndrome (CTS). Such injuries 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 an ulnar neuropathy compensation claim.
At Irwin Mitchell we fight fearlessly to achieve the best outcome for your ulnar neuropathies claim. We’re renowned for our understanding of the issues affecting you and your family due to a workplace injury, 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 Workplace Injury Claims With Expertise And Sensitivity
If you have suffered a nerve injury to the ulnar nerve, such as cubital tunnel syndrome, as a result of activities in your current or a previous employment, you may be entitled to industrial injury compensation.
Irwin Mitchell has a team of specialist solicitors working to help you with your industrial injury claim, with specific knowledge of ulnar neuropathies and conditions such as cubital tunnel syndrome.
The ulnar nerve is responsible for the feeling in your ring finger and little finger. When it is compressed, you’ll experience numbness and pain in those fingers. You’ll also notice a general weakness and clumsiness in your hand. Similarly, pressure on the ulnar nerve at the wrist may cause the condition.
There is evidence to suggest that you are at risk of cubital tunnel syndrome if you regularly:
- Rest on your elbow
- Press your work with your elbow
- Perform throwing actions, for example mail bags
- Repeatedly reach up and pull down a lever, especially if that action is forceful.
