Was somebody at fault for your carpal tunnel injury?
Was somebody at fault for your carpal tunnel injury?
It can often be difficult to tell if somebody is at fault for your carpal tunnel injury - it's usually caused by repetitive movements and your symptoms can be intermittent - but we can help.
Because of the repetitive nature of some jobs, work related accidents are a common cause of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Your employer has a duty to make sure you have the right equipment and training so you're as safe as possible. They should follow health and safety regulations, including carrying out risk assessments to reduce the chance of injuries.
For example, if you work in an office they should make sure your workstation is set up so that you're less likely to suffer from a carpal tunnel injury, and they can also give you training on how to avoid repetitive strain injury.
Any jobs which involve repeated pressure or bending of the wrist can cause carpal tunnel syndrome, such as people who work in factories and warehouses. Construction workers who regularly use vibrating tools or lift heavy objects are also at risk.
If your employer hasn't followed health and safety regulations, then they've put you at risk. To us, this feels wrong. If you've been injured, then you could make a claim to help with your recovery and to make sure you're not left out of pocket.
