Carpal Tunnel Overview

Carpal Tunnel Attorney in Chicago, IL - Illinois

Woodruff Johnson & Palermo represents secretaries, office workers, and clerical workers  and other employees in Chicago, Illinois, affected by carpal tunnel syndrome. Similar to other forms of on-the-job injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome can jeopardize your future in your current position. Many employees suffering from this ailment fail to diagnose and treat the pain in time.  They are often unable to continue performing their employment duties, creating anxiety about their health, livelihood and future income.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a repetitive stress injury often found in butchers, typists, machinists, secretaries or assembly line workers. It often isn't detected as quickly as other, more obvious work injuries. It can lead to chronic pain and debilitation, however, and should be taken seriously. Carpal tunnel sufferers are equally entitled to workers' compensation benefits, but sometimes employers overlook or ignore these injuries, blaming age or a hobby for the symptoms.

We work with our clients to pursue the medical benefits and treatment they need. Whether it be  basic remedies or surgery in more advanced cases. We also keep the future job opportunities of our clients in mind and seek the educational and vocational training they need to move into other industries and career paths that won't be affected by their carpal tunnel syndrome. Only after these concerns are addressed do we seek to determine a settlement amount for any permenant problems. 

Don't let your repetitive stress injury go overlooked.  If you use your hands at work you may develop carpal tunnel syndrome. Call Woodruff Johnson & Palermo today at 877-202-4221 for a free appointment or free consultation to discuss your workers' compensation rights.
