Queens Repetitive Motion Injury Attorneys
Construction sites have a number of obvious dangers: unwieldy vehicles, heavy objects being lifted high above the ground, and so on. However, they also contain many hazards that can be difficult to see. One example is the risk of repetitive motion injuries. As the name suggests, these injuries are caused by repeatedly moving the body’s joints in the same way, which can cause inflammation or even tearing of soft tissues like tendons or ligaments.
Repetitive motion injuries (also known as repetitive strain injuries) are very painful and can significantly interfere with your ability to work. If you or a member of your family is a construction worker who has developed a repetitive strain injury, help may be available. To learn more, call the Queens repetitive motion injury lawyers of Parker Waichman Alonso, LLP at 1-888-244-2273.
Common Repetitive Strain Injuries
There are several different kinds of repetitive motion injury, depending on the part of the body that is affected. The most common examples include:
- Bursitis
- Tendonitis
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
All of these injuries require rest in order to heal; in severe cases, they may also require prescribed exercises or even surgery. Unfortunately, injured people can lose much-needed wages while staying home to recover. While it may be tempting to continue working despite your injury, this can actually lead to increased damage and even permanent harm.
Instead, consider researching your legal and financial options. Our Queens repetitive strain injury lawyers can help you determine if you are eligible to receive compensation for your financial losses. If so, we will work hard to help you pursue the benefits you need.
