Irvine Repetitive Stress Injury Lawyer

Repetitive physical stress at work can cause you to develop serious medical problems. Unlike workplace injuries sustained in accidents, these conditions surface over time. Even though they can be harder to pinpoint, these injuries carry the same importance.

If you are suffering from such a condition, you can seek compensation. An experienced Irvine repetitive stress injury lawyer can help prove your case and recover related damages. Call our workers’ compensation attorneys to begin your claim.

Common Repetitive Stress Injuries

Depending on the type of repetitive motions a person makes at work, they can develop a wide variety of conditions. The most common examples are:

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Compression of the median nerve in the wrist leads to pain, numbness, and weakness in the hand and fingers. This condition often requires surgery.
Tendinitis: Inflammation of tendons, commonly in the shoulders, elbows, or wrists, that cause significant pain and reduced mobility.
Rotator Cuff Injury: Damage to the tendons and muscles around the shoulder joint causes severe shoulder pain and weakness.
Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): Inflammation of the tendons on the outside of the elbow causes pain and difficulty with gripping objects.
Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae (fluid-filled sacs) that cushion the joints usually affects the shoulders, hips, and elbows.
Lower Back Strain: Chronic strain of the muscles and ligaments in the lower back due to repetitive lifting.

While some of these conditions can go away with proper treatment, others have more serious consequences. They could keep a person from coming back to work and require long-term rehabilitation. With the assistance of our repetitive stress injury lawyer in Irvine, it is possible to obtain financial compensation to cover related expenses.

Who Is Liable for a Repetitive Stress Injury?

Liability in a repetitive stress injury case is not always straightforward. Some of the responsible parties may include:

Employer

In most cases, the employer is fully liable for the repetitive stress injury when it occurs in the workplace. They will need to cover damages under workers’ compensation laws.

Employers are responsible for providing a safe work environment, proper training, and ergonomically sound equipment. Failure to do so leads to liability.

Product Manufacturer

If faulty equipment contributed to the injury, the manufacturer of the tool may be liable. For example, if a poorly designed keyboard causes carpal tunnel syndrome, the injured worker may have grounds for a product liability claim.

Third-Party Contractor

In some cases, third-party contractors involved in workplace ergonomics or equipment setup may be liable for injuries. This may happen if, for example, a third-party vendor provides unsafe tools.

The first step to seeking compensation is determining who the liable parties are. Our repetitive stress injury lawyer in Irvine can help find responsible people and companies and file relevant claims.
