Carpal Tunnel Syndrome 

The majority of work-related injuries can be covered by a Workers Compensation claim, and that includes injuries such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. 

If you are suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome and believe it is the result of work-related activities, it is important to understand your legal rights in Georgia. Filing a workers compensation claim may be your only means of receiving the benefits you deserve for your injury. 

Work-Related Tasks That Could Lead To Carpal Tunnel

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can be caused in a variety of ways, many of which have nothing to do with work. However, here are some of the most common ways to obtain carpal tunnel from work-related tasks:

• Typing
• Pushing
• Pressing
• Slicing
• Using Cash Register

All of these repetitive actions may lead to compression of the median nerve, and the tendons that travel through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. The compression can cause weakness, pain, and numbness in the wrist and hand. 

Can Carpal Tunnel Be Considered A Work-Related Injury? 

To file a workers compensation claim for carpal tunnel syndrome, it will be up to the employee to prove that the injury was in fact caused due to the type of work that they do.  

It is possible that the employer's insurance company will argue that the injury did not occur while working, which means you may need the help of an experienced Personal Injury Attorney if you wish to receive compensation for your carpal tunnel injury. 

Why You Should Hire An Experienced Attorney

Proving that your carpal tunnel syndrome started due to a work-related injury is not always easy to prove on your own.
