Carpal Tunnel/Repetitive Stress Injury

New York Carpal Tunnel and Repetitive Stress Injury Attorneys

Workers’ Compensation Rights and Repetitive Stress Injuries

Carpal tunnel, arthritis, and tendonitis are some of many repetitive stress injuries that may entitle injured persons to Workers’ Compensation benefits. Any worker that has suffered a repetitive stress injury will develop their condition after performing the same movements repeatedly, especially after a lifetime or long-duration of work. The afflictions can also be caused by fixed postures or certain movements required for a job activity.

At Ouimette, Goldstein & Andrews, LLP, we offer over 30 years of experience helping individuals who have suffered from carpal tunnel or other repetitive stress injuries collect Workers’ Compensation and Social Security Disability benefits.

If you were diagnosed with a condition you believe is work-related, file a claim as soon as possible to preserve your rights to benefits. Contact us for more information about your rights and temporary or permanent damage caused by repetitive motion.

Even if your injury occurs years earlier, a later diagnosis revealing that the injury was work related, could make you eligible for Workers’ Compensation benefits. You must file your claim and give notice to your employer within 30 days of diagnosis to preserve your rights and claims.

Carpal Tunnel

Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common repetitive stress injury and is often caused by the overuse of the hands or wrists. Symptoms may include swelling, irritation, numbness, weakness of the muscles, or even permanent loss of feeling. If you suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome, you may have suffered an injury that entitles you to Workers’ Compensation benefits. Our lawyers are experienced in asserting the rights of clients who were injured on the job and are seeking medical treatment or benefits.
