There are many occupations that require workers to complete the same tasks over and over again. When those tasks involve work that needs to be performed by hand, such as typing on a computer keyboard or working in a manufacturing facility putting items together, it is possible that the activities will lead to a serious and painful condition called carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).
CTS develops due to a strain on ligaments that run from the arm to the hand. They must travel through a very narrow path in a person’s wrists, and this is often where the majority of the problems arise. If the repetitive movements cause strain, the individual may experience weakness, numbness or other complications that may make it impossible for a person to perform his or her daily workplace responsibilities.
The Law Office of Bryan Hawkins should be your first choice for Workman’s Compensation claims. Mr. Hawkins is understanding, honest, and very responsive while helping his clients. He goes above and beyond what any attorney I have dealt with has ever done. He gave my son peace of mind by explaining the paperwork he received so he could understand what was expected of him. He was polite, and sincerely wants what is best for his client. I highly recommend Bryan S. Hawkins.
