Illinois carpal tunnel syndrome attorney- The insurance company gameplan
It is readily accepted at the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission that excessive typing will contribute to carpal tunnel syndrome.
That said, most of us spend some time during the day on a computer or phone typing when we aren't at work.
Some insurance companies are trying to use this fact to deny claims. Be very careful what you say about your social activities. You don't have to discuss that with them.
As long as your job plays a role in you getting carpal tunnel syndrome, a good Illinois carpal tunnel syndrome attorney should be able to get you benefits.
There is one doctor in Chicago who is often hired by insurance companies and almost always says that typing at work didn't play any role in the carpal tunnel developing. If that happens to you, we simply need to get a credible statement from your doctor that your job did play a role. 29 out of 30 times that should be enough to win a case.
