WC denying work related injury

injured neck/shoulder/hands in warehouse of Disney. Determined by EMG that hand(s) problem was carpal tunnel. Will only address neck/shoulder which consists of pain meds and with restrictions job can only accommodate me in repeatitive hand jobs. NEVER had problems with hands before this injury. Can I get them to address all or am I SOL? They sent letter saying not eligible for disability paymehts because it was not work related yet still out on medical. Confusing situation especially having never dealt with WC.

We have a lot of Worker's Compensation cases involving Carpel Tunnel syndrome. Insurance company often dispute that this condition is work-related. In most instances they are wrong and in some instances it will be determined by an expert (generally AME examiner)to allocate a percentage called an apportionment. Your claim involves many factors such as nature of your present and prior jobs and how long you have been working at the present and prior jobs and etc..
