The most difficult part of filing a workers' compensation claim regarding carpal tunnel syndrome is giving proper notice. Months can go by as the injury gets worse. You talk to your doctor, who may tell you this is work related, but your employer claims that your injury was not sustained at work. It is important to make sure you document all your medical treatment, so you will be fully prepared for your workers' compensation hearing.
Your employer may try and prove that your carpal tunnel syndrome did not develop as a result of your job. For example, your employer/insurer may argue that because you talked to or received treatment from your own (non-company) doctor at some point, that is evidence that the carpal tunnel injury is not work related. Do not let this prevent you from getting the full extent of workers' comp benefits you deserve. An experienced workers' compensation attorney can help you protect your rights and reach a fair settlement, even if your injury was not sustained in a traumatic event.
