What is Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)?
Repetitive strain injury is a blanket term used to describe many different types of soft tissue injury including carpel tunnel syndrome and tendinitis. It is usually caused by a mixture of poor posture, stress, and repetitive motion.
Who is at risk?
You are particularly at risk of developing RSI if you use a computer for more than a few hours a day, or work on a factory production line.
Is RSI serious?
Repetitive Strain Injury has the potential to cause crippling disability and pain. Early treatment is essential, as recovery can be a very slow process.
How can I find out if I may be entitled to compensation?

If you suffer from pain, discomfort, and loss of movement in your digits as a result of RSI the specialist accident at work legal team may be able to help you with a claim for compensation.
