Wrist Pain or Numbness from Work? Talk to a Work Injury Attorney Near You

Do you have wrist pain, numb fingers, or trouble gripping at work? These are warning signs of a repetitive stress injury—and under California law, you may be entitled to Workers’ Compensation benefits.

At Lee Partners Law, we’re the work injury attorneys near you that injured employees across Los Angeles, Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks, Panorama City, and La Puente trust. We specialize in handling wrist injuries, carpal tunnel claims, and other job-related conditions.

Wrist Injuries from Repetitive Motion Are Real Work Injuries

Not every injury is caused by a fall or accident. Many develop over time through repetitive motions—what the law calls cumulative trauma injuries. These are 100% valid claims under California Workers' Comp.

Jobs that commonly cause wrist and hand injuries include:

  • Typing or data entry

  • Warehouse and assembly line work

  • Cleaning or janitorial work

  • Packing, shipping, or delivery

  • Machine operation or tool handling

These movements can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome, nerve damage, and long-term functional loss.

Don’t Let the Insurance Company Deny Your Rights

You might not even realize your pain is work-related until a doctor tells you. That’s exactly what California Labor Code § 5412 protects. And yet, insurance companies deny wrist injury claims every day.

That’s why it’s so important to work with a work injury lawyer near you who knows the system.

What Kind of Treatment Can You Get?

A wrist injury may entitle you to:

  • Physical therapy

  • Injections or acupuncture

  • Carpal tunnel release surgery

  • Paid time off for recovery

  • Permanent disability compensation

  • Lifetime future medical care

We fight to get your treatment approved and paid for by the insurance company—fast.

When You Reach MMI (Maximum Medical Improvement)

Once your condition has stabilized, you’ll receive a Permanent Disability Rating. This rating determines how much money you're entitled to—and it depends on various factors:

  • Grip strength loss

  • Limited range of motion

  • Nerve damage (tingling, numbness, weakness)

  • Ulnar Compression

  • Motor Loss

  • Sensory Loss

This rating is calculated using the AMA Guides, 5th Edition, specifically Chapter 16. David A. Lee and Michael Lee are work comp attorneys who push for the highest possible rating—because we know how to work with doctors and make sure your injury is properly documented.
