Illinois carpal tunnel attorneys
There was a study done a few years ago by the Mayo Clinic that said typing doesn't cause carpal tunnel syndrome. Although this study has been mostly rejected it has been used to deny cases. There is one "independent medical examiner" that does a lot of work for insurance company who writes reports all of the time that says a typist's injuries didn't play any role in their carpal tunnel.
This is, of course, a bunch of non-sense. The law is clear that if your job plays any role in your injury, including carpal tunnel, your case should be covered. To imply that typing 70-80% of your day didn't at least aggravate a problem is absurd.
The good news is that most Arbitrators reject the findings of this well known company doctor and award benefits when your treating doctor is in your corner.
