Did you file a report of injury at the time? If not, a claim may require 
collaboration from a witness to the incident that caused the initial injury 
or the agreement a medical professional that it resulted from repetitive 
motion (a' la carpal tunnel syndrome). You could be stuck with the bills if 
they decide against you.
