Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Claim
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) can make everyday tasks painful and frustrating. Tingling, numbness, and weakness in your hands can affect your ability to work, type, or even hold objects comfortably. If your condition developed because of your job or unsafe working conditions, you could be entitled to compensation. At Claims 24 Hours, we help workers across the UK secure the compensation they deserve for workplace-related injuries — including Carpal Tunnel Syndrome claims.

Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve in your wrist becomes compressed, often due to repetitive hand movements, poor workstation setup, or exposure to vibrating tools. It’s common among workers who type frequently, operate machinery, or perform repetitive wrist actions.
Symptoms can include:
- Numbness or tingling in the fingers or hands
- Weak grip or dropping objects
- Pain that worsens at night or during work
- Reduced mobility or coordination
If your symptoms were caused by your working environment, your employer may be held responsible for failing to protect your health and safety.
Can You Make a Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Claim?
You can make a Carpal Tunnel Syndrome claim if your condition is linked to your job and your employer neglected their duty of care. This means they failed to provide safe working conditions, proper training, or equipment to prevent strain injuries.
Examples include:
- Not rotating staff between repetitive tasks
- Failing to supply wrist supports or ergonomic equipment
- Ignoring reports of pain or discomfort
- Inadequate rest breaks or workstation assessments
Even if your symptoms developed gradually over time, you may still be able to claim compensation. At Claims 24 Hours, our legal team will carefully assess your situation and guide you through every step of the process.
How Much Compensation Can You Receive?
The compensation for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome varies depending on the severity of your symptoms, how long you’ve been affected, and how it impacts your ability to work and enjoy life.
A claim may cover:
- Medical treatment and rehabilitation costs
- Loss of income (including future earnings)
- Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
- Care or support needs
- Travel and other related expenses
Every case is unique, so we’ll ensure your claim reflects the full impact of your condition.
Average Compensation Ranges
- Mild Symptoms: £2,000 – £5,000
- Moderate Symptoms (with recovery): £6,000 – £12,000
- Severe Symptoms (requiring surgery): £13,000 – £20,000+
These figures are only a guide. Every claim is unique, and our team at Claims 24 Hours will work hard to secure the maximum compensation available for your situation.
