More Than 25 Years of Experience in Workers' Compensation
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a fast-growing issue in today's workplace, since many employees now work long hours in front of computer. As a soft tissue injury, carpal tunnel can cause serious, lasting damage to your wrists and hands if left untreated. Therefore, if you have developed carpal tunnel due to the nature of your job, you should speak with an experienced attorney to protect your right to fair workers' compensation.
Many people don't fully understand their rights when pursuing workers' compensation after an on-the-job injury. At the Law Offices of Thomas Hoegh, we can help guide you through the process, protecting your rights and identifying all possible options you may have for obtaining benefits. We have more than 25 years of experience representing employees in both the private and public sectors throughout the San Fernando Valley, and we will put our experience to work for you.
Aggressive, Detail-Oriented Representation
Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by repetitive, forceful motions of the hand, fingers or wrist. The most common symptoms people experience include numbness, tingling or pain in your hands or wrists. These symptoms are caused by the inflammation of your median nerve, located in the wrist. If left untreated, this condition can cause permanent nerve damage, requiring surgery or leading to a loss of feeling or functional use of your hand.
If you have pain or numbness in your hands while at work such that you require medical treatment, we can help you determine whether you are entitled to workers' compensation for your medical bills and rehabilitation. Our lawyer and experienced staff take a detail-oriented approach and examine all relevant documentation, including medical records, doctor's reports and other information to build your case.
Unfortunately, many employers and their insurance companies attempt to minimize claims by claiming that carpal tunnel was caused by outside factors or pre-existing health conditions. If your claim is initially denied, we will fight for your rights before the California Workers' Compensation Appeals Board. Our goal is to help you obtain the compensation you need to achieve maximum recovery.
