Claiming for a repetitive strain injury

You could be eligible to claim personal injury damages for suffering a repetitive strain injury if the cause of the problem arises from some form of negligence. The vast majority of cases of this kind of injury will be suffered in the workplace and arise from strains caused by regular or daily activities. In these kinds of cases, such injuries usually come down to repeated movements that can cause damage over time, usually to muscles. A common area that can suffer is your back.

There are many ways in which a repetitive strain injury can occur, from constant manual handling activities that cause problems to your back over time, to constant movements at a desk that may cause damage to your wrist and arm muscles. Health and safety legislation is particularly prevalent in the UK and serves to prevent these kinds of problems through risk assessments and equipment if necessary.

If you have been the victim of an injury that was preventable, that is when you may have been the victim of negligence. If you have been the victim of negligence and we can prove that health and safety legislation has been breached, that is when you could be eligible to pursue a personal injury compensation case.

Serious injury compensation cases

A repetitive strain injury that becomes a serious or catastrophic injury may completely change a person’s life. If, for example, your back is damaged to such an extent that you find daily movements very difficult and this affects your ability to work and live your life comfortably, it is important that this is addressed by way of a legal case. Whilst we cannot turn back the clock and undo any damage that has been done, we can use the law to make sure that you are fairly compensated for what has happened.

If you are no longer able to work, it may be a case that we need to recover lost earnings for the rest of your life. If private surgery or private treatments could potentially help you to make a better recovery, we may be able to obtain this included as part of a legal case for you. We think that this is always important to mention because it allows people to understand that pursuing a serious injury compensation claim is much more than just recovering a large amount for the injury and suffering. When you consider the losses and expenses element and how we may be able to help you with private treatment, there is a lot that we can do to support you in realistic terms to make sure that your life is comfortable if it has been completely changed.
