We Have the Experience You Need
Does your job require repeated lifting or bending? Do you stand for long periods or walk on uneven surfaces? Perhaps you must pull levers or work gears for most of your shift. These types of jobs are hard on muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints.
If your job caused a repetitive stress injury, you may be facing a lifetime of pain or disability. Depending on the nature of your injury, it may not be possible to return to work. To pay the bills, you will need workers' compensation benefits. At Kenneth R. Schuster & Associates, P.C., our attorneys can help you with your workers' comp claim from application to appeals, if necessary. For a free consultation, please call our Philadelphia repetitive stress injury lawyers at 610-892-9200 or contact us online.
Who Is at Risk?
Workplace repetitive stress injuries may include:
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Torn rotator cuffs
- Shoulder injuries
- Elbow injuries
- Knee injuries
- Back and neck injuries
Warehouse, factory and industrial workers also perform jobs that involve repetitive motions. People who sit at desks and work at computers for hours are at risk for carpal tunnel syndrome, shoulder, back and neck injuries. Professional drivers are sedentary for many hours and may injure joints and muscles from shifting gears. Nurses and nurses' aides are often injured by lifting patients.
Torn muscles and damaged soft tissues can be extremely painful. Swollen muscles and joints can cause pain by pinching nerves. Sensations of tingling and numbness in the affected areas can make it difficult to perform tasks such as gripping, typing, lifting or standing. If symptoms such as these prevent you from working, you may be awarded workers' comp benefits.
As experienced workers' compensation attorneys, we know what type of medical evidence to submit with your claim. Our medical experts can review your medical records and ensure that you have the appropriate tests and physician observations for your condition.
