Hopefully, this experience will just fade away. As a precaution, you might
be interested in having his personal and medical history investigated or
closely examined (although I don't know how that's done).
If there are numerous other WC claims in his past, it would be a good guess
of what his intentions were/are.

CTS can be interpreted differently, like most things. Where some medical
folks would insist that surgery is the only option, others may correctly
interpret it as a treatable problem (ultrasonic therapy).
I've known hard working, responsible guys that have developed severe hand
pain and loss of motion, and had the surgery performed only to discover that
they still had lots of pain, or began to experience other new symptoms like
numbness, tingling and lower function of their hands.

If the particular individual that filed the claim has had any other types
symptoms (related, or not, to his hands/limbs) and sought treatment, it
could be beneficial for you to know.

My tech with carpal tunnel's claim has been denied by the BWC. They say
that his job doesn't have repetitive motion normally associated with this
type of claim. I'm sure of many, many appeals. But I still say there is
a
God and He doesn't put up with EVERY bit of crap. Our risk management
group
says that an approved claim will cost me over $100,000.00 over a period of
five years and will get me kicked out of the group and loose my discount
with the BWC. I have a phenomenal safety record with no lost time in over
20 years.
