Repetitive Stress Injuries Can Cause Disability
Workers who use computers, cash registers and other machinery often suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome, which can lead to temporary or permanent disability. If the disability prevents you from doing your job, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation.
Many workers suffer injuries caused by repetitive motions that affect the nerves, muscles, ligaments, tendons and joints. Some of the most common workplace repetitive motions and actions include lifting, bending, carrying, pulling, typing and standing for long periods.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is just one type of repetitive stress injury. Additional injuries can include:
- Epicondylitis (tennis elbow)
- Trigger finger
- Tendinitis
- Cubital tunnel syndrome
- Rotator cuff injuries
In addition to repetitive stress injuries, we represent people who have suffered traumatic workplace injuries such as amputations, brain injuries, back and neck injuries, spinal cord injuries, burns, loss of hearing or vision, broken bones and scarring.
