Thousands of people in the UK suffer from repetitive strain injury due to the kind of work they do. The injury can affect the life of the person and can even disable him for the rest of his life. His professional life may also have to take a back seat as the person may not be able to work. If you too have been suffering from this type of injury, you need to look into making an RSI claim with the help of an experienced attorney.
Health and safety in the workplace is the first thing that you should get and if he employer has failed to provide you with the best working conditions, he will have to pay for his negligence. This injury is caused when there is excess strain on the muscles of the body and specially tendons, tissues and nerves while working. There are some physical jobs where the person has to make repetitive movements and has to suffer these types of injuries. When the same muscles are used for a prolonged period, pain starts occurring in them and it results in repetitive strain injury.
The body parts do not get enough time to recover and this is why the muscles have a bit of fatigue. If the same continues to happen, the muscles start reacting and pain persists in them. If the situation does not improve, the damage can be very serious and can even lead a person to be disabled for the rest of his life. You are an employee and have full right of working in the safest conditions. You can hire an attorney and make a claim against your employer as he has failed to provide you with the same and that is what has resulted in the injury.
If the employer has taken all the measures and you still get injured, there are chances that you will get compensation. You will need to prove that the employer was at fault and failed to provide you with good measures to prevent the injury. Your employer is to be blamed for your injury as he was responsible for taking care of you while you started working in his company. Fix up a meeting with your employer and make sure that you choose the best one to guide you in the process of getting a RSI claim.
Mrs J tripped on a pothole whilst crossing a service road running parallel to a main road, fracturing her shoulder, wrist and ankle. The Council initially denied full liability for her accident alleging Mrs J was partly to blame for not avoiding the pothole. Excalibur arranged a Conference with a barrister and on his advice rejected this. After intense negotiations Mrs J was awarded £17,000.00 she said:
"I had help from the start regarding my claim and found the advice very reassuring. I have never had to make a claim before so was apprehensive but you did a lot to alleviate my worries. Thanks again for all your help and support."
