Repetitive Strain Injuries are treated by solicitors as industrial disease cases due to the majority being caused in the workplace. As solicitors we act on behalf of many clients with RSI claims in Birmingham.
If you think you have an RSI claim and don't live in the Birmingham area, don't worry, our lawyers can work remotely to get you the compensation you deserve.
RSI is generally caused by repetitive, continuous movements made by the hands in the workplace and is a musculoskeletal and nervous system injury.
Sufferers commonly complain of tingling, numbness, cramps, stiffness and often pain in the hands and arms when they have been working habitually in an awkward position.
Many workers find that using a keyboard with the fingers constantly bent can cause symptoms over time, together with employees using power tools and vibrating equipment. Even supermarket checkout staff repeating the same manoeuvres daily can find they have an RSI claim.
You may be worried about making a claim against your employer for fear of repercussions. Generally an employer is covered by insurance hence our Birmingham RSI Solicitors will pursue the insurer rather than your employer.
There are employment laws which should prevent repetitive strain from being an issue but as RSI claims are still being made, this suggests that more care should be taken to prevent injury in the workplace.
