Re: 25 yr. old male with carpul tunnel.

The value of your case is dependent upon the amount you were earning when you got injured and the disability rating you are able to establish you have from the carpal tunnel. That rating is set by your treating physician, but may be challenged by a doctor hired by the compensation carrier. If you can no longer work at your job, you would be entitled to vocational re-training provided by the comp carrier.

You should certainly seek representation by an experienced workers' comp attorney to help you with this matter.
