  • Carpal tunnel syndrome

Who Our Solicitors Can Help

There are two main types of people who tend to suffer with RSI, and who are able to apply for RSI compensation. That is, if it can be proved that the pain was a result of their working conditions or a third party who may have acted negligently. Those two categories of worker and employee are:

  • Blue collar (factory related)Factory and construction workers who work in manufacturing and production environments. Particularly where they have to perform repetitive tasks in a difficult posture or with force can sometimes develop aches and pains in their arms, wrists, shoulders fingers and/or thumbs.
  • White collar (office related)Office and company workers who carry out data inputting, typing, computing, programming and secretarial duties and other similar tasks can sustain aches and pains to the upper limbs.

RSI claims will affect all claimants very differently. The amount of personal injury compensation that you can claim for does not relate to the type of injury, but instead relates to the impact it has had on the sufferer. Below are some generic guidelines, but we will not know exact amounts until we have spoken to you and taken on your case with one of our lawyers **.

  • You recover completely within a few months: Up to £2300
  • Your pain lasts up to two years: Up to £6200
  • Continuing permanent intermittent pain: Up to £10,500
  • Surgery necessary with an effect on your ability to work: £10,500 to £15,000

How an RSI Claim is Calculated

These are only conservative estimates, as the compensation packed will be made up of the following elements, which will cause it to vary significantly. This is why we prefer to quote directly to you, rather than use an RSI compensation calculator — which wouldn’t provide reliable answers.

  • Pain and suffering
  • Medical costs
  • Loss of income
  • Future medical treatment and care

Worried About Taking Legal Action Against Your Employer for Your RSI Claim?

If you have concerns about making an RSI claim against a current employer, we can put your mind at ease. Businesses in Bolton are insured against this type of legal action, so any compensation amounts will not be paid for by the business, but instead by third party insurance companies. UK employment law also forbids businesses from discriminating against any employer who has had to make a personal injury claim so you are also protected that way.
