| Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Attorney |
 |
Many workers suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome, especially those whose work requires repetitive motion with their hands and arms. At Linda Bass law we have represented many employees who suffer from this debilitating injury, especially those who have worked on a factory assembly line or those who use vibrating hand tools. Many times, workers do not realize that their condition qualifies as a workers’ compensation injury, simply because they have not suffered a traumatic event in a single instant. With carpal tunnel syndrome, the injury occurs over time and usually results in the employee suffering from unbearable pain to the point where they can no longer perform their job.
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the hand, becomes pressed or squeezed at the wrist. The median nerve controls sensations to the palm side of the thumb and fingers (although not the little finger), as well as impulses to some small muscles in the hand that allow the fingers and thumb to move. The carpal tunnel - a narrow, rigid passageway of ligament and bones at the base of the hand - houses the median nerve and tendons. Sometimes, thickening from irritated tendons or other swelling narrows the tunnel and causes the median nerve to be compressed. The result may be pain, weakness, or numbness in the hand and wrist, radiating up the arm. Although painful sensations may indicate other conditions, carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common and widely known of the entrapment injuries in which the body's peripheral nerves are compressed or traumatized.
At Linda Bass Law we have a history of success representing people suffering from repetitive motion injury or carpal tunnel syndrome. At one time, we represented several injured employees from the same factory that all suffered from carpal tunnel syndrome. By simply placing a call to our office, the employees were able to get the medical care that they so badly needed. We were also able to get weekly income benefits for the employees while they were out of work and healing from their injuries. The factory changed the way the assembly line was operated in order to eliminate the possibility of injury to future employees. |
