Need Compensation for a Repetitive Stress Injury?
Most jobs require doing the same tasks one day after another. Sometimes, this repetition leads to serious stress injuries. These injuries can prevent you from doing your job, from earning your income. They can result in huge medical expenses, not to mention a great deal of pain and suffering.
At the Warner Law Offices in Wichita, Kansas, our lawyers each have more than 20 years of experience standing up for the rights of personal injury victims. We know the steps to take to help you get workers' compensation.
Repetitive Stress Injuries Suffered in the Workplace
No type of work is immune to repetitive stress injuries. They can be suffered by office workers, manufacturers, construction workers, health care workers and more.
The type of injury that has become synonymous with repetitive stress injuries is carpal tunnel syndrome. This is a very serious and painful injury.
The range of other repetitive stress injuries is very broad and includes:
- Damage to shoulders from repetitive overhead lifting
- Repetitive motion injuries to the back from the constant stress of lifting heavy objects
- Injuries to fingers, wrists or elbows from using riveting guns and other power tools
- Damage to knees joints and hips from lifting
With an attorney/nurse on staff, we know how to analyze these issues and build strong cases designed to get workers' compensation.
Repetitive Stress Injuries Suffered Outside of the Workplace
While repetitive motion injuries such as carpal tunnel are most frequently associated with work, they can also be suffered in other settings.
The most common example of another type of personal injury case involving repetitive motion injuries involves a person who has suffered a leg injury. While using crutches, the person's stride is altered, which can result in a repetitive stress injury to the lower back. While the leg injury may have been caused by a car accident, an act of medical malpractice or anything else, the secondary injury is also the result of that accident.
Those responsible should be held accountable. That is what we do.
