Thank you to William and his team at HUC for their sensitive and professional approach to my claim.
Not only did you provide the right Solicitor, but you stayed in contact with me until my final settlement - not costing a penny!
I cannot thank you all enough.
Mr. S. Lai.

Thank you Help U Claim
Date Posted : 04/08/2010
I would just like to say a big "thank you" to Simon and the team at Help U Claim. From my first online chat with William right up until the Solicitor confirmed my compensation amount - the service has been first class. I wasn't alone during the claiming process and to have that support from the start filled me with confidence. This was my first and (hopefully) my last claim for compensation and I would certainly recommend your services to people in the future.
All the best.

RSI Compensation Claim
Date : 22 Mar 2011
An RSI injury occurs as a result of repetitive, long term and excessive overuse of the hands, wrists, back or shoulders. The condition often leads to pain and suffering, having to take time off work and generally not knowing how to deal with the ongoing symptoms. All in all, this usually leads the RSI sufferer with no option but to make a claim for RSI compensation.

Artist gives hand scare brush-off to paint again
Date : 15 Mar 2011
WHEN artist Leo du Feu first experienced a mild tingling sensation in his right hand while painting, he didn't think too much of it.
Just weeks later, he was diagnosed with repetitive strain injury (RSI) in both his hands, casting doubts over his career as a full-time artist.
The 26-year-old from Linlithgow, who predominantly paints landscape and wildlife pictures, was instructed by his doctor to down tools for six months, and has only recently picked up his paintbrush again. He said: "I absolutely love painting, so being told I couldn't do it for six months was quite depressing and I have gone through phases of feeling very low."

Massaging fat business fliers gave us RSI
Date : 08 Mar 2011
Two Virgin Atlantic beauty therapists suffered repetitive strain injury after giving massages to overweight businessmen, a court heard.
Jayne Evans, 40, claims she was left struggling with simple tasks such as pulling on jeans or slicing vegetables.
She and Michelle Hindmarch, 35, say they suffered chronic muscular pain in their shoulders, upper back and wrists after giving intensive shiatsu massage to business and first class passengers at the Clubhouse lounge at Heathrow Terminal 3. They are suing Virgin Atlantic for more than £500,000.
Theodore Huckle, counsel for the women, told the High Court they had been forced to end their careers, and the pain meant peeling carrots or taking a roast from the oven was beyond them. Mrs Evans, of Ruislip, was sent home after an arduous session in 2005 when a large male client asked her to massage even harder, the judge was told.
She is seeking £327,000 from Virgin for exposing her to the risk of injury. She is still at the firm in an office role. Mrs Hindmarch, of Banstead, is seeking £235,000. Virgin accepts liability but contests the extent of the injury and the level of damages. Judge Martin McKenna reserved judgment to a later date.

Could your blow-dry poison you?
Date : 08 Mar 2011
When a rep selling a popular long-term hair straightening treatment visited Karen Dandy’s salon last year, the hairdresser was intrigued.
Assembling her team of stylists and two willing models, Karen watched as the treatment — dubbed the Brazilian blow-dry, and loved by celebrities such as Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie — was applied.
Little more than 30 minutes into the process, when the models’ hair was heated with straighteners, all five people in the room began suffering headaches and nausea, with stinging eyes and sore throats. Karen and her staff found themselves inhaling a noxious chemical mist that rose to the salon ceiling and hung there in a cloud.

Bad body posture makes you a sitting duck
Date : 18 Feb 2011
If your job requires long hours of sitting then getting up from your desk and walking around a little every 20 minutes or so could help your body more than a 45-minute session at the gym, say experts.
