Workers’ Compensation for Repetitive Stress Injuries

When it comes to workplace injuries, the most significant danger to our health might be the most menial tasks that we do throughout the day. Whether it’s typing, bending over too often, or some other motion, it can be hard to do the same thing over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again. Brunton Law Office helps local people that suffer injuries from doing the same thing too many darn times. If you have pain because of some movement required for your job, you could be entitled to financial compensation if you’re hurt severely enough that you can’t work. Call now to make sure you understand your rights as a worker.

What are repetitive stress injuries?

Repetitive Stress Injuries may happen when the same movement is repeated over and over again. This repeated motion puts too much stress on one part of the body and can cause muscle strains, inflammation, or even tissue damage. One common repetitive stress injury is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome which occurs because of pinching in the median nerve that runs from the arm to the wrist. While it may seem insignificant, it can seriously affect your work, especially if you rely on your hands (ex. Typists, musicians, etc.). Any worker at any job can be susceptible to a repetitive stress injury.
