Why is it necessary to have labor lawyers in cases of repetitive work injuries?

When a worker is exposed to work activities that are repetitive or require a great deal of constant effort, it is possible that they may develop injuries that can cause significant damage to their health if they do not receive medical attention in time. Do you know when to turn to labor lawyers in cases of repetitive work injuries? In this article, we tell you.

Repetitive work injuries are much more common than they seem. In fact, according to statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), reported annual workers’ compensation costs for repetitive work injuries amount to more than $20 million.

When you become a victim of repetitive work injuries, it is important that you have the proper support of a team of employment lawyers who can guide you down the legal path that will lead you to receive the compensation you deserve by law.

At Nonna Law, you can find a team of professional and experienced attorneys ready to provide you with the legal assistance you need.

When can we talk about repetitive work injuries?

Repetitive work injuries can happen in almost any type of occupation, especially in those where working conditions lend themselves to the development of injuries caused by the lifting of heavy loads, and repetitive use of some type of machinery or industrial equipment, among others.

Each of the injuries that arise from these types of cases, which usually generate intense pain in specific parts of the body, can be considered repetitive work injuries and require specialized medical treatment to prevent damage that may prevent the worker from suffering injuries that can be permanent.

What kind of injuries can arise from repetitive work?

There are many injuries that can arise from repetitive work. Most of them may start as minor and passing injuries, so it is important to pay close attention to them to avoid complications that may worsen the victim’s health.

Some of the most common repetitive work injuries are as follows:

  • Fractures due to weight lifting or stress.
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome.
  • Cubital tunnel syndrome.
  • Tendonitis.
  • Trigger finger.
  • Bursitis

When developing symptoms that indicate possible repetitive work injuries, such as any of the above, it is important to seek medical attention and report the injury to the employer or work supervisor, so that the process can be initiated to allow the victim to receive the compensation he or she deserves.

Why should you have the support of employment lawyers?

In a repetitive work injury case, as a victim, you have the right to receive compensation that will allow you to cover each of the expenses arising from the medical care you receive, the treatment necessary for your recovery, and rehabilitation therapies, among other expenses that may be essential.

However, sometimes it is possible that certain obstacles in the process may hinder access to the benefits that you deserve by law, or even that you are not provided with the totality of the benefits that apply to your case, as established by law.
