Carpal Tunnel Syndrome And Your Rights In Seattle

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a nerve compression injury from repetitive motion which can lead to wrist pain and discomfort. This is often known as a keyboard injury, as it is often – though not exclusively – experienced by those who work on computers for a living. Like tendonitis and other such conditions, carpal tunnel syndrome can make typing impossible and could limit a person’s ability to work. It may even qualify as a disability, potentially meaning they can never return to the office. This will have a drastic impact on their earnings and their livelihood.

Why Does Carpal Tunnel Happen?

This is often an overuse injury based on poor ergonomics in the workplace. The nerve running down the middle of your hand can become compressed, leading to tingling and numbness in the fingers. It can also cause consistent pain and feelings of weakness, making it difficult to work quickly – or impossible to work at all.

Why Do You Need Compensation?

There are two main areas to consider. First, treatment options for carpal tunnel syndrome are available, but they can be expensive. Some workers need wrist splints or even surgery, for instance.

Secondly, if you have this condition, it can prevent you from working. This can lead to a short-term loss of wages or a long-term reduction in earning capacity if it’s a chronic condition.
