Edmond, OK Repetitive Stress Injuries Lawyer
Repetitive stress injuries (RSI) can take on many forms, including carpal tunnel syndrome and tendinitis (inflammation of the tendons). An RSI may not have a specific condition name, but can still be identified. When discussing workplace injuries, most people picture getting hurt while doing jobs like construction or manufacturing. RSI can affect any work environment, and office workers are especially prone to these injuries.
When an injury leaves a worker unable to perform their duties, they have the right to seek workers’ compensation. Workers’ compensation allows employees to recover and get the medical care they need without worrying about footing the bill. Besides medical expenses, workers’ compensation can cover lost wages, job rehabilitation, and even disability.
The process of getting this compensation isn’t always the easiest. Besides the actual paperwork and filing the claim, there’s dealing with denied claims. Unlike other injuries, an RSI isn’t always as clear. These injuries may develop over time instead of there being a specific, defining moment when the condition occurs. The insurance companies may leverage this fact to deny the claim or argue that the worker was violating certain guidelines or procedures.
Regardless of the reasons for the denied claim, our attorneys can look at the facts present to prove liability and represent you.
