Repetitve Strain Injury - Personal Injury Compensation Claims with clickandclaim's Personal Injury Solicitors
Repetitive strain injury is a common personal injury resulting from an occupation where repetitive movement of a bodily part causes strain.
Repetitive Strain injury refers to all types of muscle and tendon strain due to constant movement. The most common type of strain injury is carpal tunnel syndrome which relates to the median nerve.
Our specialist personal injury solicitors have a wealth of experience dealing with this type of personal injury compensation claim.
Strain injuries often occur after repetitive use of the computer, guitar, knife or similar types of motion tool. They are also caused by poor posture as the muscles and tendons are kept tense for a long period of time. As they are work related injuries there is possibly grounds for a claim if the court believes your health was put at risk unlawfully.
Repetitive strain injury is not a specific disease, it refers to all types of strain injury, usually interrelated. The bad news is that a sufferer will usually have many different injuries all at once and they can occur for a long time.
