Maximizing Your Workers’ Compensation for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Mayo Clinic notes that carpal tunnel syndrome can cause several serious symptoms, including loss of sensation in your hands and fingers, discomfort, and weakness. Your attorney will seek the maximum compensation allowed under Georgia’s workers’ compensation laws and the specific policy that applies to you.
Some of the losses often covered in workers’ compensation cases include:
Medical Expenses
Medical expenses related to your work-related carpal tunnel syndrome should all be covered by the insurance provider. This may include the cost of:
- Visits to a medical professional when you detect signs of carpal tunnel syndrome
- X-rays, which can help exclude other possible conditions and move towards a diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome
- An ultrasound, which can show tendon and nerve injuries
- A nerve conduction study
- A physical examination
- Anti-inflammatory drugs
- Physical rehabilitation
- Any necessary surgery
Our experienced attorneys have found that different clients with carpal tunnel syndrome often have significantly different medical needs. We will work closely with your doctors and our medical experts to evaluate and value your current and future medical expenses.
A Percentage of Lost Income
Workers’ compensation insurance entitles injured workers to receive compensation benefits equaling two-thirds of their average weekly wage, according to the Georgia State Board of Workers’ Compensation. There may be a maximum allowed weekly payment of $800 for wage replacement, and your workplace carpal tunnel syndrome attorney serving Athens will seek the maximum allowed amount.

Understanding Disability Classifications for Carpal Tunnel in Workers’ Comp Claims
Workers in Georgia who are injured in work-related circumstances receive benefits based on the classification of their disability. Whether your carpal tunnel symptoms prove temporary or permanent, it is important that authorities classify the disability accurately—the classification has a direct effect on how much compensation you receive.
The three primary disability classes are:
- Temporary partial disability (TPD)
- Temporary total disability (TTD)
- Permanent partial disability (PPD)
Our comp lawyers understand the criteria for each classification, as well as the financial implications of each of these classifications. Allow us to document your workplace injuries and prove the category that your carpal tunnel syndrome belongs in.
