Making Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Claims can ensure you get your life back on track following a diagnosis of TOS.
As with many chronic pain conditions, suffering from Thoracic Outlet Syndrome means fighting a daily battle with constant pain, sometimes looking perfectly healthy to the outside world.
Getting an official diagnosis of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome can be an uphill battle, as not all medical professionals are aware of the signs and symptoms of this condition, and many may disregard your claims of pain. This condition may affect your professional and social life and make daily tasks difficult.
At Brian Barr Solicitors, we understand that no amount of monetary compensation will ever make up for the struggle you’re going through. However, having expert legal support through your Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Claim can help you receive compensation for any expenses you have incurred, or any loss of earnings for being out of work. Of course, we will fight for you to receive compensation for your pain and suffering, especially for cases of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome caused by traumatic events, or Repetitive Strain Injury.

If your Thoracic Outlet Syndrome was caused, or worsened, because of the negligence of another party, especially one who owed you a duty of care, you may be entitled to make a Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Claim. This will include cases caused by traumatic events, such as slip, trip, or fall, road traffic accident, or medical negligence.
The most important part of your claim, and the only way to prove its validity, is to prove the negligence of another party, and the causation of your condition – or worsening of it – because of their negligence.
A medical examination will be carried out to assess your symptoms, and their professional opinion on the severity of your condition and the effects of the traumatic event will be crucial in proving the negligence of the guilty party.

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) is a term used to define a group of disorders that affect the blood vessels or nerves that pass between the highest rib and the collarbone. In some circumstances, these can become compressed.
As a result of the compression of these nerves and blood vessels, a Thoracic Outlet Syndrome sufferer may experience tingling, pain and numbness in the neck, shoulders, and upper extremities.
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome can be caused by many things, but it’s common for TOS to manifest following a traumatic accident or as a result of repetitive strain injuries on the workplace. This condition reportedly affects female patients more often than male patients, but diagnosis of TOS is commonly overlooked. It’s not rare for sufferers to wait a long time before receiving an official diagnosis and beginning effective treatment.
If you have received a diagnosis of TOS that you believe has been caused by the negligence of another party, contact our Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Solicitors. Our team at Brian Barr Solicitors is specialised in chronic pain compensation claims and can help you recover compensation for your injuries and pain, and get your life back on track. We understand that you may have begun legal proceedings with a law firm who does not specialise in chronic pain, so we can move your Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Claims to us to give you specialist legal support.

Symptoms of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome can vary greatly depending on the type of TOS you may be suffering from, the severity of your condition, and other risk factors such as age and sex. If you consistently suffer from any number of the following symptoms, you should seek medical advice as soon as possible, and obtain an official diagnosis if Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is found to be occurring.
These symptoms can commonly be overlooked by patients and medical professionals alike. Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is often misunderstood, and reaching a diagnosis with a treatment plan for the future can be challenging. If your diagnosis of TOS has been delayed or mistaken for another condition as a result of medical negligence, our team at Brian Barr Solicitors can help you.
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome can affect both nerves and blood vessels. Depending on the way these are affected, TOS can be categorised into 3 main types:
Each case of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is different, and more than one type can coexist for one patient. When multiple parts of the Thoracic Outlet are suffering from excessive pressure, both the nerves and veins or arteries can be damaged. The type, or mix of types, of TOS can influence the symptoms suffered by TOS patients.
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome can be difficult to diagnose, as symptoms can vary between different patients in type and severity. TOS sufferers will typically undergo a review of their medical history and a physical examination, looking for any physical evidence of the condition. This can include lumps, discoloration, or absent or weak pulses in the arms. The range of motion of the arms is also commonly tested.
Confirmation of a TOS diagnosis will include a series of medical tests, such as:
If the Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is diagnosed at an early stage, conservative treatments will likely be considered before resorting to any surgical procedure. Some of the treatments that may be planned include:
For cases of TOS which are significantly more severe, surgery may be necessary. This will usually be carried out by a thoracic or vascular surgery specialist.
The procedure used to treat Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is called Thoracic Outlet Decompression; this involves the removal of a muscle and part of the first rib to ease the pressure on the blood vessels or nerves.
The compression of blood vessels and nerves between the first rib and the clavicle that causes Thoracic Outlet Syndrome can happen because of a variety of circumstances, but the most common causes of TOS include:
Many cases of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome cannot be traced back to one specific cause. The misunderstood nature of this chronic pain condition means that, at times, the exact circumstance that has caused the compressions of the blood vessels and nerves in the thoracic area is not identified. Especially for TOS caused by traumatic events such as accidents at work, it’s vital to seek advice from specialist Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Solicitors. You may be subject to time limits, and the collection of evidence must be carried out early and thoroughly. Contact Brian Barr Solicitors today to begin your Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Claims.
Instructing a solicitor who is specialised in chronic pain can truly make the difference for your claim. If you have started your claim with a different law firm, and you have found their lack of expertise is hurting your chances of success, contact us today.
