DOL OWCP denied my claim after the doctor diagnosised it as carpal tunnel syndrome DOL stated that the injury could not have caused carpal tunnel syndrome is there any recourse?
You have not given enough information. Carpal tunnel is an occupational disease. I think that is what it is called. It is caused from repetitive motion. It is not caused from one specific injury. If you had a specific injury it could not have caused the carpel tunnel. However, you may still have an OWCP claim for the carpel tunnel if you return to your doctor and ask them what caused the carpel tunnel . If there is a repetitive component to your job,i.e keying mail? Keyboard? this may be the cause of carpel tunnel, then it is indeed a claim for OWCP. You did not say what the injury was or what the results were but the carpel tunnel was just something the doctor happened to find when he examined you after the accident . You have had it all along , not just because of the accident.
I had carpol tunnel surgery 10 years ago could I have it again and would work comp pay for it again?
I have heard that it is very easy to get carpal tunnel again after you've had surgery for it once. This is especially so if you continue to do repetitive motion work. You may or may not be able to have the workers comp insurance company from before pay for doctors bills. This depends on how you settled your original claim. If it was setteled as an open ended claim you may still be able to collect. I am not sure if there is a time cap on that. But if this is a new injury after you were declared as fully healed after your last surgery you will need to obtain workers comp again through your new employer or if its the same employer file a new claim. (they may not have the same insurance company still). Please note I am not a lawyer and this is just from what I have read and understand to be true since my husband has received carpal tunnel surgery and is involved in a workers comp suit.
Can you get fired if you have carpal tunnel syndrome?
Yes, you can be fired if you have carpal tunnel syndrome, but it depends on the circumstances. If your condition affects your ability to perform your job and you cannot accommodate it or find a suitable solution, an employer may have grounds for termination. However, under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and similar laws, employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities, including those with carpal tunnel syndrome. If you feel you were terminated unjustly due to your condition, you may have legal grounds for a claim.
