Decades of Workers' Compensation Experience in the Central Valley
You do not have to be in a particularly dangerous occupation to be susceptible to sustaining or developing injuries on the job. In fact, some of the most seemingly innocuous occupations carry the most risk of employees developing a repetitive stress injury. These types of injuries, which develop as a result of repeated movements that frequently result in soft tissue or nerve damage, actually account for approximately 60% of all workplace injuries. A repetitive stress injury can range from mild to severe and can often impact one’s ability to perform required job duties. Although employers should take necessary precautions to protect their employees from injuries like tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other repetitive stress injuries, not all do, unfortunately.
If you developed a repetitive stress injury due to your occupation, you could be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits.
These are just a handful of some of the most common repetitive stress injuries, though there are certainly others. Repetitive work takes a toll on a person’s body and, if you sustained a repetitive stress injury, whether it was mentioned above or not, you have a right to pursue workers’ compensation benefits that will assist you throughout this difficult time.
Injuries sustained or developed on the job can be serious, requiring workers to take precious time away from their work.
