Modern workplaces are often structured around a set routine, with employees performing similar tasks day after day. This repetitive motion, while often necessary, can inadvertently lead to workers suffering from repetitive stress disorders or repetitive motion injuries. If your job involves continuous keyboard typing or working on an assembly line, you may develop conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, bursitis, or tendonitis. Jobs that require lifting might lead to injuries affecting the hands, shoulders, back, hips, knees, or feet.
Thankfully, most employers are required to carry workers compensation insurance, designed to cover medical expenses and lost income following a work-related injury. However, the path to obtaining these benefits can be an uphill battle. This is where work injury attorneys come into play, and it’s especially important when dealing with repetitive motion injuries. Contact PLBH at (800) 435-7542 for a free legal consultation if you have suffered this type of injury.
The Reality of Workers Compensation Claims
While the premise of workers compensation seems straightforward — file a form, receive benefits — the process is often far more convoluted. Insurance companies are not in the habit of blindly approving claims; our scrutinize every case and try to find reasons to deny or minimize benefits.
This problem is exacerbated when dealing with repetitive motion injuries, which can be particularly challenging to prove. Sufferers often experience pain, numbness, swelling, redness, stiffness, and loss of muscle strength, along with potential permanent soft tissue damage — all of which may be invisible to the naked eye. Insurers may downplay the severity of the injury or dispute that it’s work-related.
