Repetitive Stress Injuries

Repetitive Stress Injury Lawyer in Chicago

Are My Injuries Covered Under Workers' Compensation?

When workers are expected to perform the same tasks day-in and day-out, it is not uncommon for repetitive stress injuries to occur. These injuries are caused by repetitive movements, which may include lifting heavy objects, typing on a computer, or working in an assembly line. Repetitive strain on one part of the body can cause damage to soft tissues, such as muscles, nerves, tendons or ligaments.

Some of the most common repetitive stress injuries include:

Although these injuries are not caused by a single workplace accident-but rather over time-repetitive stress injuries are still covered under workers' compensation. This means that you can seek medical benefits to cover the cost of diagnosing and treating your injury. You may also be entitled to disability benefits if your injury has temporarily or permanently prevented you from returning to work.

Common Causes of Repetitive Stress Injuries

Repetitive stress injuries are not specific to one particular industry; they affect people in all lines of work. However, those who are expected to work in fixed positions or complete a single task for long periods of time have the highest risk of suffering a repetitive use injury. This can include drivers, massage therapists, mechanics, office workers, musicians, construction workers, and more.

Repetitive use injuries can be attributed to several causes, including:

  • Completing repetitive tasks
  • Constantly gripping or pressing
  • Repeatedly bending up and down
  • Continuously typing on a computer
  • Maintaining awkward positions
  • Lifting heavy objects or boxes

      "If your looking for experienced, dedicated, firm that will treat you right ... Hire these guys!!"
      If your looking for experienced, dedicated, firm that will treat you right ... Hire these guys!! They fought for me and made sure I was being treated fair, got me justice , and this was some 20 years ago. As I had a situation that arose, I recently called to speak to James,  He remembered me, and we talked like we were family, he gave me a few points that  helped and would help if he could, but my situation wasn't valid .. I always tell  friends that if they need an attorney, I give them this firms number!!! Super nice people, AAA+++

      "I feel that I truly made the right choice when I was referred to Jim Morici"
      MLA is an extremely professional law firm that treats people with care. I was injured on a construction site with spinal damage and was on workman's compensation for 5 long years. There were times my comp checks were delayed and Bob Butzow called and got them released for me, any medical bill issues were handled by MLA . I feel that I truly made the right choice when I was referred to Jim Morici and still feel that MLA was my security blanket that I needed throughout this painful time in my life. I stand by Morici & Longo and you bet I refer them to any and all injured people!
