Work-related upper limb disorders (WRULD) is the umbrella term for a series of musculoskeletal disorders and conditions caused by occupational tasks.
This section covers a range of upper limb injuries including:
- Tenosynovitis
- De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis
- Stenosing Tenosynovitis
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Epicondylitis
Award amounts are affected by the following criteria: whether both or just one side is affected; level of symptoms; ability to work; capacity to avoid recurrence of symptoms and surgery.
If you suffer from a work-related upper limb disorder and believe it has been caused by negligence or failure to meet health and safety standards on the part of your employer, you may be entitled to compensation. To find out how much you could claim, look at our compensation calculator below.
