Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) Claims

Repetitive Strain Injury RSI

Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) is a condition caused by repetitive movements or overuse of muscles and tendons. This condition is common in office workers, assembly line workers, and those who engage in repetitive tasks for extended periods.

What Causes RSI?

RSI is caused by repetitive movements, poor posture, or prolonged physical strain. The condition affects muscles, nerves, and tendons, leading to pain and discomfort, often in the neck, shoulders, wrists, and hands.

Symptoms of RSI

The common symptoms of RSI include:

  • Pain and discomfort in the affected area
  • Swelling and inflammation
  • Numbness or tingling in the fingers or wrists
  • Decreased mobility and strength

Eligibility for RSI Claims

If your RSI is caused by your work environment or activities, you may be entitled to compensation. You will need to prove that your injury was caused by your job and that your employer failed to provide adequate protection or equipment.

Time Limits for RSI Claims

You must file an RSI claim within three years from the date of diagnosis or when the injury first became apparent.
