Repetitive strain injury is a common injury suffered by many workers in the UK. It is a general term used to describe pain and discomfort caused by repetitive actions which affect muscles, tendons and nerves in the upper body. Your employer has a responsibility to ensure that safe working conditions protect you against such an injury.

If you have sustained a repetitive strain injury at work, then you may be entitled to compensation. Contact our experienced personal injury solicitors to find out how we can help you bring a successful claim.
