When Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Leads to Disability:
Why Attorneys Should Refer Clients to Walker Firm PC, DBA Casa de la Justicia
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is often seen as a treatable workplace injury — but for some clients, the condition can become severe enough to prevent them from performing any substantial work. When that happens, these clients may be eligible for monthly checks from Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits.
As an attorney, you may already represent clients in workers’ compensation, personal injury, or employment matters involving repetitive stress injuries. But what happens when their Carpal Tunnel symptoms don’t improve and they can no longer work? That’s where Walker Firm PC, DBA Casa de la Justicia, can help.
While mild to moderate CTS can often be addressed through surgery, physical therapy, or ergonomic adjustments, some cases progress to the point where:
Fine motor skills are permanently impaired
Pain and numbness interfere with daily activities
Grip strength is lost, limiting the ability to perform even light tasks
Work restrictions make returning to any gainful employment impossible
In these situations, monthly payments for Disability (SSDI) from Social Security can provide a crucial financial lifeline — but the application and appeals process is complex, especially for conditions like CTS that don’t always appear on Social Security’s “Listing of Impairments.”
SSDI claims for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome require strong medical evidence, detailed documentation of functional limitations, and a clear link between the condition and the inability to work. Many applicants are denied initially because:
Medical records lack functional capacity assessments
There’s insufficient evidence of how the condition impacts daily activities
Social Security assumes the claimant can perform other types of work
Walker Firm PC, DBA Casa de la Justicia, specializes in bridging that gap — gathering the right evidence, working with medical experts, and presenting a compelling case to Social Security. Here are a few reasons why referring a client to Walker Firm PC, DBA Casa de la Justicia, is in the best interest of individuals seeking SSDI benefits:
85% win rate at SSDI hearings — far above the national average
Clients pay no out-of-pocket fees, and their workers’ comp or injury settlement is separate from their SSDI benefits
Culturally competent, bilingual representation — especially for Latino clients who may otherwise struggle navigating the SSDI system
Thorough screening process to ensure the client’s eligibility. All must be under 65 years of age, have worked legally and paid their taxes for ten years, and their medical condition must keep them from working for at least the next 12 months.
Comprehensive case handling — from the initial application to appeals and hearings.
