The length can vary depending on the state you are in and the work comp laws of that state.

Does workman's comp cover carpal tunnel when you didn't have it before you switched to a job at work that involves a lot of computer work?
Well it MAY..the real question is can you Medically prove that one you didn't have carpal tunnel syndrome before the job switch and more importantly can you prove that the job switched caused the CTS and not just aggravated it or that hobbies or non-work related activities didn't cause your carpal tunnel symptoms? Every state is different, so you need to go to your states website (ie state.gov) It has pretty much been determined that computer work does not routinely CAUSE carpal tunnel. Harvard did a landmark study that you can find. Many lawyers still claim it does....but the cases have gone down quite a bit from the 90's when everybody was jumping on the ol keyboard bandwagon.
