Brooklyn Repetitive Motion Injury Lawyers
Repetitive motion injuries (also known as repetitive strain injuries) are among the most common work-related injuries in the US. They occur when a person must perform a certain motion repeatedly over the course of each workday. This repetition can place strain on soft tissues such as tendons and ligaments, potentially leading to inflammation, bruising, and even tears.
Repetitive strain injuries are very painful and can severely interfere with your ability to work. Even on a worksite such as a construction area, where more obvious dangers are present, repetitive strain injuries are a significant risk. If you have suffered financial and personal losses due to such an injury, the Brooklyn repetitive motion injury attorneys of Parker Waichman Alonso, LLP may be able to help. Call us today at 1-888-244-2273.
Common Repetitive Strain Injuries
Construction work often involves repeating certain tasks, such as lifting supplies, gripping tools, or other actions that can lead to painful injuries over time. The most common repetitive motion injuries include:
- Bursitis
- Tendonitis
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
For all of these injuries, the treatment will include resting the injured area for several days or even longer. Unfortunately, construction workers may lose valuable wages during these rest periods, or may even feel pressured to continue working despite their physical pain. Getting adequate rest is strongly recommended, however, as attempting to use the injured limb can cause severe long-term damage.
Compensation for Repetitive Motion Injuries
If you or a member of your family is a construction worker who has suffered from a repetitive motion injury, you may be eligible for compensation. Your injury is not your fault; you should not have to take on burdens such as medical bills and lost wages alone. Our Brooklyn repetitive strain injury attorneys are prepared to fight for the compensation you deserve.
