Repetitive Strain Injury Claims

A repetitive strain injury (RSI) is the result of overusing a particular body part. One of the most frequent examples of this is when their hands or wrists are being used to operate a computer at a desk every single day. The severity of the pain can mean time needs to taken off work, which results in a loss of financial income.

It may even help colleagues who are potentially at risk from suffering their own repetitive strain injuries if changes are not made in the workplace.

Repetitive Strain Injury Symptoms

The chronic misuse of a body part is the major cause of repetitive strain injury. RSI is sometime known as occupational overuse syndrome or work related upper limb disorder.

Common complaints that sufferers of repetitive strain injury make include:

The study in 2008 showed that over two thirds of the UK working population suffer from some kind of repetitive strain injury – the most common of these being pain in the wrists. The findings suggest that the vast majority of people don’t make, or even think about making RSI claims for compensation, instead choosing to suffer in silence and risk developing further physical or psychological difficulties.

Stress and anxiety have been shown to make pain seem worse to a sufferer. This mean that the stress caused by a pressurised or un-enjoyable job can ultimately increase the amount of pain caused.

Preventing a Repetitive Strain Injury

There are a number of preventative measures designed to assist those who are worried about developing repetitive strain injury symptoms. Good posture, including sitting upright with knees bent at right angles and feet flat on the floor is one of these, whilst another is using specially designed ergonomic keyboards and mice.

There are also computer software programmes which help recovery and prevention of a repetitive strain injury. One of these, called Workrave, has a count-down timer which urges the user to take regular breaks from their desk and computer to get coffee and complete stretch exercise.

Unfortunately, for many already suffering with a repetitive strain injury these techniques are not so simple. Many will find that lasting damage has already been caused and that it is now too unbearable to work at all.

If you are unable to work, either in the job you were doing, or in any other job available to you, making repetitive strain injury claims for compensation can help you financially in what can be an extremely stressful time for you and your family. If you need unexpected medical treatment, or can’t do other things you used to such as play sports, damages compensation can be awarded depending on your circumstances.
