Claiming compensation for a repetitive strain injury
You could be eligible to pursue compensation if you have suffered from a repetitive strain injury through no fault of your own. In the majority of cases, such injuries usually occur in a workplace environment. You may be eligible to pursue your employer for any negligence that has resulted in the injury you have suffered from.
One of the most common forms of repetitive strain injury is that of back injuries caused by prolonged manual handling activities. Other common ones include injuries to the wrists and arms from repetitive tasks, as well as the fingers and the knees from repetitive movements.
Health and safety regulations in the UK strictly monitor and manage employee activities in the workplace to prevent workers from suffering harm. The regulations factor in how the chances of anyone suffering a repetitive strain injury can be reduced, which includes simple things such as regular breaks, as well as the provision of equipment and personal protective equipment where applicable. It is in cases where workplace practices are unsafe or where equipment has not been provided that people could be entitled to pursue compensation if they have suffered from a repetitive strain injury as a result of negligence.
We can assess your potential claim and, if we believe that there is a case to answer, we may be able to represent you for a claim on a No Win, No Fee basis.
The need for expert injury lawyers on your side
Claiming workplace compensation for prolonged injuries suffered over a period of time can be quite difficult to achieve, as you need to be able to prove that the injury was directly caused as a result of negligence in the workplace.
