Compensation for Repetitive-Use Injuries
Repetitive-Use Injuries
In modern society, many employees’ job responsibility requires repetition of the same tasks over and over again. This can place an inordinate strain on the particular part of the body utilized to complete the repetitive task. Secretaries and typists often suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome and wrist pain related to keyboarding. Loaders and un-loaders of freight often suffer back injures and back pain related to repeated lifting. These injuries caused by a repetitious employment activity constitute an ever increasing field of workers’ compensation claims dubbed repetitive-use injuries.
Repetitive-use injuries are some of the most debilitating injuries an injured worker can suffer. Chronic wrist or back pain can severely limit an injured worker’s ability to carry out routine daily tasks. But unfortunately, despite the debilitating symptoms, these injuries tend to be more difficult to prove than other work-related injuries. Hiring knowledgeable lawyers with experience in handling these cases is crucial to success.
