Repetitive motion workplace injuries are more common than many people realize. When workers find themselves dealing with a situation involving an injury at work that could be the result of constant use of a particular area of the body, they typically will work as long as they can before notifying management.
In worse case scenarios they change jobs, which is rarely a remedy. While these injuries are usually not associated with an accident, they are still workplace injury injuries that can be successfully claimed for compensation when an experienced repetitive stress and motion attorney represents the injured workers.
Repetitive motion cases are unlike other work injury claims because they can be complicated and are often strongly defended, especially if the injury manifests after leaving a job. Workers compensation claims could be filed with multiple employers, all of which will have legal counsel in many situations. Having the right workplace injury attorney is important, and Pyrros, Serres & Rupwani is that law firm in New York.
There are many similarities with RSI cases. Injuries typically include similar problems, even when the injuries are in different areas of the body, and they are all associated with the joints and skeletal regions. Aching and soreness are consistent with most RSI cases and can be disabling, and may require surgery.
Additionally, injuries can often worsen over time without treatment of some sort. Not only can symptoms be similar, but certain repetitive strain injuries can seriously impact other regions of the body. An RSI can develop in practically any joint or extremity, and they can be the result of even minimal movement over a long period. Problems can even eventually include numbness or loss of other sensations in addition to significant pain.
Your workplace injury attorney can conduct a full investigation into your work history and access all available documentation when examining your injury case. Not only can work records be used, but medical documentation from doctors and other health care professionals can also be vital in building a successful claim.
Your workplace injury attorney can then verify the conditions and prognosis from medical treatment professionals before the case is considered by the administrative law court. RSI injury claims are almost always fought by the insurance companies, which means it is beneficial to have comprehensive representation from a law firm with significant knowledge in proving a work injury claim.
Never think you cannot be financially compensated for a repetitive strain injury just because there is no accident report to support the claim.
