Workers' Compensation: Repetitive Stress Injuries
When people think of a work-related injury, they often think of a sudden accident like a falling object, slip and fall, or work-related auto accident. While these injuries do account for a significant number of workers' compensation claims, they are by no means all-encompassing.
A significant share of work-related injuries are caused by everyday job tasks that put pressure and strain on a specific body part, like a knee, shoulder, wrist or elbow. Examples of repetitive stress injuries include:
- Carpal tunnel (typically from extended typing)
- Back injuries from regular lifting
- Knee injuries from regular bending and lifting movements
- Shoulder injuries from lifting and throwing motions
- Elbow injuries from repetitive work movements
