You have suffered Repetitive Strain Injury (R.S.I) symptoms in your joints which have been caused by your work or workplace.
- Pain, aching, tenderness, stiffness, throbbing, tingling, numbness, weakness and cramp.
- Affecting your wrists, hands, forearms, elbows, neck and shoulders.
About Repetitive Strain Injury (R.S.I.)
Symptoms of R.S.I. have been recognised as an occupational health hazard for many years. If your job or workplace for instance exposed you to carrying out a lot of repetitive work, you may have already developed a repetitive strain injury or be at an increased risk of doing so in the future. Potentially any worker, who, through their employment, has to carry out repetitive work, could be at risk.
Your employer is under a legal duty to ensure your well being and protection in the work place and to minimise the risk of exposure. If you are suffering from R.S.I., you may have grounds for a no win, no fee claim.
Example Occupations
There are many occupations that can potentially lead to R.S.I. exposure including;
Industrial Labourers Keyboard Workers
Production Line Workers Assembly Workers
Audio Typists Secretaries
and many more.
Symptoms of R.S.I
Repetitive Strain Injury (R.S.I.) is a term used to describe the pain felt in muscles, nerves and tendons caused through repetitive actions or overuse. It is a work related upper limb disorder as it mainly affects forearms and elbows, wrists and hands, neck and shoulders.
The symptoms that affect these areas can include pain, aching, tenderness, stiffness, throbbing, tingling, numbness, weakness and cramp.
How is R.S.I. Caused?
If your job involves repetitive activities, doing a high intensity action without breaks, or activities forcing you into an awkward position or poor posture, then it is possible that you may have developed symptoms of R.S.I.. Such exposure has been regarded as an occupational hazard for many years and your employer should have taken steps to minimize your exposure. These preventative steps include designing work so employees do not spend too long carrying out the same activity, having a system of staff rotation in place and allowing employees to take regular breaks. If your employer has not taken such steps then this may amount to negligence and has put you at risk as a result.
If you suffer from R.S.I. you may have grounds for a claim.
- You need not be still employed by your employer to make an R.S.I. claim.
- You don’t need to have had a formal diagnosis or medical treatment for your condition to make a claim
