Queens Repetitive Motion and Strain Injuries Lawyers
Many people find it difficult to remain fully engaged with their work for the entirety of the day and account for this by citing the frequent repetition of the same cycle of actions. While repetitive motion can indeed lead to mental fatigue and wandering attention, there is an underlying physical problem that may also result from this situation. Most occupations require a worker to perform specific physical movements hundreds or even thousands of times each day. An individual iteration of this motion may not seem to require much strain, but the intensity of repetition can cause a severe cumulative toll.
If you have developed a repetitive strain injury as a consequence of an ergonomically flawed or otherwise deficient workplace, we can help you to secure the financial compensation that you may be due to address medical bills, lost wages, and other considerations. Contact the Queens repetitive motion and strain injuries lawyers of Parker Waichman Alonso, L.L.P., at 888-244-2273 for more information.
Common Repetitive Strain Injuries
The effect of frequently repeated physical motions upon a person’s muscles or connective tissues is similar to that of a saw upon a piece of wood. As each tooth of a saw moves across the surface of the wood it does not result in much change. But over time, the consequences of these actions are amplified and it becomes possible to fell a tree. Common repetitive strain injuries which may be associated with a person’s job-related duties include:
- Carpal tunnel syndrome – the compression of the medial nerve
- Tendonitis – the inflammation of the tendons, connective tissues which join muscle and bone
- Bursitis – the inflammation of bursae, lubricant-filled sacs which cushion the joints
