Carpal Tunnel & Other RSI Claims: What Injured Workers Need to Know
Carpal tunnel, tendonitis, and other repetitive-stress injuries are fully compensable, but they are harder to prove than accidental injuries. Here’s how we build these cases.
The Detail
The statute of limitations on an RSI claim runs from the date you are diagnosed and told the condition is work-related — not the date the cumulative exposure began. Documentation of daily job tasks, ergonomic factors, and medical chronology all matter.
What This Means for Your Case
Every workers’ compensation case turns on the specific facts and the specific state’s law. The general principles in this post apply across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Maryland, but the deadlines, procedures, and benefit formulas differ in important ways state to state.
