CTS Symptoms
Date Posted : 15/02/2011 I had carpal tunnel 5 years ago. The doctor wouldnt confirm if it was work related or not - i think this is the norm due to the many causes of the problem. I had the smae symptoms too - which again, i think are the most common. Even though ive had this for a long time, i still put in a claim for compensation back in august which has now been concluded. Mine is due to working in a factory - very repetitive and even though i still have the symptoms, i feel i was right to claim. Bill View Post

CTS Symptoms
Date Posted : 31/01/2011 Women are three times more likely than men to develop carpal tunnel syndrome, perhaps because the carpal tunnel itself may be smaller in women than in men. The dominant hand is usually affected first and produces the most severe pain. Your symptoms are very common. I trust that because you are on a Claims Forum - that is something that you want to do? In my experience, it is very difficult to get your GP or Consultant to pinpoint the cause of your symptoms (some do though) and it is up to you to decide if it is work related. This may help... http://bit.ly/e9bqhp View Post

Diagnosed years ago
Date Posted : 31/01/2011 i thought it was all about trying to prove that the employer had been negligent? Surley if the employee is still working for them, it does not matter when they were diagnosed. The fact that they are still doing that job will be grounds to pursue a claim? View Post

I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome two weeks ago. My main symptoms are pins and needles and a general ache in my wrist and lower arm. My Consultant will not tell me the specific cause of this - I believe it is work related. What should i do next? Are my symptoms common?

Families of Merseyside asbestos victims secure landmark court ruling
Date : 10 Mar 2011

TWO families have won groundbreaking legal claims to compensation for their Merseyside relatives’ exposure to asbestos.

In separate cases, relatives of Huyton mother-of-two Dianne Willmore and Eastham-based Enid Costello were awarded damages after convincing courts their deaths were related to “low level” asbestos exposure.

Last night, legal experts said the Supreme Court ruling could pave the way for similar claims nationwide.

Mrs Willmore, 49, was awarded £240,000 damages after convincing a High Court judge in July, 2009, that her time as a pupil at the former Bowring Comprehensive School, in Huyton, caused her incurable lung cancer.

Virgin lounge masseuses sue airline after developing RSI
Date : 10 Mar 2011

Beauty therapists Jayne Evans, 40, and Michelle Hindmarch, 35, each developed chronic muscular strain – including pain in their shoulders, upper back and wrists – after giving intensive shiatsu massages at the airline’s Terminal 3 “Clubhouse” lounge at Heathrow.

Their barrister, Theodore Huckle, told the High Court that both women were “devastated” at being forced to abandon their careers as a result of their injuries.

Muscular aches and pains mean the women cannot carry out a range of household tasks including peeling carrots or “taking the Sunday roast out of the oven”, the court heard.

Mrs Evans, who still works for Virgin Atlantic on the administrative side, is seeking £327,000 compensation from the airline for exposing her to the risk of injury, while Mrs Hindmarch is claiming £235,000 in damages.

Company fined after exposing workers and the public to asbestos
Date : 08 Mar 2011

A refurbishment company has been fined after workers and the public were exposed to asbestos in a Leicestershire village

Shengxuan Company Ltd was converting a shop in Borough Street, Castle Donington, into a restaurant on 16 June 2010.

Part of the work involved converting an integral garage into a storeroom but in doing so, workers disturbed asbestos-containing materials. This was then put in a skip by the workers, who were unaware of its presence or its risks.
