Some people are more at risk of developing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. For example, you could be more at risk if you:
Have previously injured your wrist;
Are overweight;
Are pregnant;
Have a job or hobbies that mean you repeatedly bend your wrist or grip hard, such as using vibrating tools;
Have another illness, e.g. arthritis or diabetes;
Have CTS in the family.
However, if we can prove that the condition was made worse or even partly linked to exposure to vibration at your workplace, or an injury that wasn’t your fault, you could be eligible to claim compensation, so we’d advise you to get in touch today.
