I have carpal tunnel syndrome which my doctor believes is aggravated by my employment. Can I claim for this?

I have had two operations on my right hand due to carpal tunnel syndrome and fusion of stt joint of right thumb. My doctor says my job has aggravated my situation but my company has no health and safety or risk assessment in place. Can I claim for this?

Carpal tunnel syndrome can be constitutional and it is much more common in women than in men.  There are situations when it can be exacerbated by repetitive movements and some experts believe it can be caused by employment.  It would certainly be worth your while to investigate this further and I can ask one of our legal counsellors to call you to go through your case in detail. The service is confidential, there are no costs associated with the call and there is no obligation of any kind. Please reply to this email if you want to use this service.
