Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) is a general term for pain, discomfort and altered sensation in muscles nerves and tendons caused by repetitive movements and over-use. Typical symptoms reported include cramping,numbness and tingling sensations in the affected area.
It’s also known as Work-Related Upper Limb Disorder. It normally affects the neck, shoulders, upper spine, wrists and hands or forearms and elbows. Employees across a vast range of industries, from heavy industry to retail and office work, can encounter the condition.
Although a workplace can never be 100% safe, every employer has a duty to take appropriate steps to prevent injury in accordance with health & safety regulations.
Employers must provide staff with appropriate training on their work practices and carry out risk assessments to ensure that employees’ workstations are fit for purpose and do not pose a risk of injury.
If it can be shown that your employer has failed in their duty of care to you and you have suffered Repetitive Strain Injury as a result, then you are entitled to claim compensation for your injuries and associated losses.
Work Claims Bureau director Michael Walker explains:
“To claim successfully, you will need to establish that your employer breached its duty of care to you as an employee. It then follows that you will need to prove that that breach of duty was the cause of your injuries, as opposed to any other factors. In work-related upper limb disorder claims, if liability is not admitted by the employer, there can be complex arguments over what actually caused the condition and whether the employer can in fact be held responsible.
Work Claims Bureau can call upon decades of experience in work accident claims. We’ll assess your claim; if we think you have a case, we’ll make sure that we support you through every stage of the process. We’ll put you in touch with a respected expert who will assess your injuries and their relationship to your working practices.”
