Many people do not realize their pain and physical problems were caused by years of repetitive use or trauma at work. In addition, they do not realize they could be entitled to workers' compensation benefits. It is important to realize that you do not have to sustain one major accident or trauma to become injured, as many of our clients have been injured by doing repetitive work over an extended period of time. You can be entitled to workers' compensation benefits as a result of repetitive-use injuries (also called repetitive trauma) like carpal tunnel syndrome, disc injuries from repetitive bending, shoulder injuries from overhead work, and knee injuries from climbing into and out of trucks or excessive walking.
At Cummings & Middlebrooks, LLP, our Atlanta workers comp attorneys know that the pain from a repetitive use injury can be just as real as the pain from a specific accident. With that knowledge, we are able to get our clients the benefits they need and deserve.
Could I Have a Repetitive Use Injury?
Repetitive use injuries are most often experienced by people who have jobs that involve repetitive duties, such as office jobs with a lot of typing, factory assembly jobs, delivery driver positions, and warehouse jobs.Oftentimes, people do not realize they have sustained a repetitive-use injury until it becomes very serious. They may feel tingling or numbness in their hands, arms, legs or feet for a long time before realizing they have been injured and the severe pain starts. If you think you may be experiencing symptoms of a repetitive use injury, like carpal tunnel syndrome, it is important that you see a doctor as soon as possible and then contact our law office. Our Atlanta workers comp lawyers will lead you in the right direction.
If you do not know how to find a doctor, our workers comp attorneys in Atlanta can help. Employers are required by law to have a panel of physicians available to provide medical treatment for work-related injuries. If they fail to do so, or if you are unhappy with the physician they provided, we can assist by insuring you receive the medical treatment you need and to which you are entitled.
