RSI Compensation Claims. RSI claims.
Legal advice on making a compensation claim for repetitive strain injuries (RSI).
Welcome to the website of Boris Kremer, a personal injury solicitor in Gosport, Hampshire, UK.
RSI, or repetitive strain injury, is a controversial area because the nature of the condition is disputed by some medical experts.
The condition can affect the muscles, tendons and nerves of the:
- Hands
- Arms
- Shoulders
- Neck.
Over the years, various RSI conditions have been linked to occupations by name, for example:
- Gamekeepers thumb
- Golfer's elbow
- Tennis elbow
- Writer's cramp.
Our most common requests for legal advice on making an RSI claim come from people working on:
- Computer keyboards
- Factory production lines.
What we need to know initially:
- Your exact RSI condition. There are several distinct upper limb disorders, not all of which are work related. Some such conditions can arise spontaneously, especially with individuals of a certain age.
- When your symptoms first arose. Did this coincide with a change in the working conditions?
- Whether anybody else in the workplace has suffered similar RSI symptoms.
In order to defend an RSI compensation claim, the employer must establish:
- That it assessed the risk, and
- Took reasonable steps to establish a system of breaks and job rotation.
