Unlike many workplace injuries, repetitive stress and repetitive motion injuries are not tied to a single accident or traumatic event. Many work-related tasks such as typing, heavy lifting or overhead work can lead to these injuries. Unfortunately, employers and insurance companies are often reluctant to admit that your everyday work can cause injury over time.
If you are the victim of a repetitive stress injury, you need an experienced attorney to fight for appropriate workers' comp benefits. If your boss or the workers' comp insurance company have denied or limited your repetitive stress injury claim, contact us today for a free initial consultation.
Attorney Kenneth B. Katz has more than 20 years of experience helping clients recover full benefits for the injuries they have suffered. He and our legal team have a great deal of experience handling repetitive stress injury cases, including denied claims.
In many cases, since you can't point to a specific traumatic event at work that caused your injury, the workers' comp insurer will fight your claim. They will say the injury was a result of a degenerative disease or non work-related injury. This is simply unacceptable. Even if you were predisposed to a degenerative disease, repetitive stress could be a substantial factor in your injury or in the aggravation of your condition.
At the Law Offices of Kenneth B. Katz, we will aggressively pursue the compensation you deserve. Contact us today for a free initial consultation to learn more about how we can assist you. We handle workers' comp and personal injury cases on a contingency basis — we don't collect unless we recover for you.
