Re: Carple tunnel syndrome. pre exisiting condition

Did your case settle? If so, what percentage of disability was accorded your hands?

If your other case settled, you can make a claim for pain only if it can be proven that your hands have gotten worse at the new employer. Otherwise, their defense will be that the pain you feel is a result of the disability from your prior problem.

If you wish to discuss this further, without cost or obligation, please feel free to contact me.
