    Answer:

    We get calls numerous times a week regarding people asking us about repetitive trauma injuries. One of the most common forms of repetitive trauma is carpal tunnel, which is an injury where in the wrist, there is a compression of the carpal tunnel nerve. It causes pain and numbness in usually the index, thumb, and middle finger. Those are considered compensable claims. They’re well recognized. We will say that for the last 15 years when they altered the statute, they are highly litigated as well. If you think that you may have developed carpal tunnel or any other type of repetitive trauma injury, it’s important that you get the appropriate medical treatment and testing. If you have a question about how to make sure that you can pursue your claim in this area, please call me. Let’s discuss it because there are certain things and steps you need to take to make sure you’re successful.
