Carpal Tunnel Claims

What Are Carpal Tunnel Claims?

Carpal Tunnel Claims are compensation cases for people who suffer from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) due to their work. This condition is caused by pressure on the median nerve in the wrist and can lead to pain, tingling, and weakness in the hand.

Many workers develop CTS because their job involves repetitive hand movements, heavy lifting, or using vibrating machinery. If your employer failed to protect you from the risk, you may be able to make a claim.

Understanding Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is one of the most common workplace-related injuries. Symptoms include:

Tingling or pins and needles in the fingers
Weak grip strength
Numbness in the hands, especially at night
Difficulty with fine movements like buttoning a shirt

These symptoms often get worse over time and may lead to surgery if not treated properly.

Common Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome at Work

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is often linked to jobs that involve:

Constant typing or keyboard work
Assembly line or factory jobs
Heavy use of vibrating tools such as drills and jackhammers
Supermarket checkout scanning or packing work
Construction or carpentry involving repeated wrist strain

Employers are legally required to reduce the risks by providing protective equipment, regular breaks, and proper training. If they fail to do so, they may be held responsible for your condition.

Who Can Make a Carpal Tunnel Claim?

You can make a Carpal Tunnel Claim if:

Your job caused or worsened your symptoms
You received little or no training on safe working methods
Your employer did not take steps to protect you from repetitive strain
You were denied breaks or protective tools at work

Even if you no longer work at the same job, you may still be able to claim. As long as your case is within the three-year time limit, your claim is valid.

How Much Compensation Can You Get for Carpal Tunnel Claims?

The compensation amount varies depending on how severe your condition is. Factors include:

The level of pain and discomfort you have experienced
Whether surgery or long-term treatment is required
How much has your ability to work and earn been affected
Any costs for medical treatment, travel, or medication

Average Compensation Ranges

Mild Symptoms: £2,000 – £5,000
