Illinois Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Lawyers
While many on-the-job injuries are the result of a single workplace accident, others develop over time and can be attributed to the repetition of certain movements day after day. These repetitive stress workplace injuries can be extremely painful and disabling, requiring lengthy periods of recovery and sometimes coming with lasting impacts. Victims of these injuries have the right to pursue workers' compensation.
At the Southern Illinois law firm of Short & Smith, P.C., we bring decades of experience to these types of cases. We will help you get the workers' comp you are entitled to.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Beyond
The most well-known repetitive stress injury is carpal tunnel syndrome, an extremely painful condition that can affect one or both of the wrists. While this is a common condition for everyone from office workers to construction workers, it is certainly not the only type of repetitive stress injury one can seek workers' compensation for.
Our attorneys also handle knee injuries, shoulder injuries and even back injuries that can be attributed to repetitive stress.
These Cases Are Challenged
Employers and workers' compensation insurance companies frequently push back in these cases. Often, they will try to claim that the injury could be attributed to something outside of the workplace, since it was not the result of a distinct work accident. We understand the tactics they will use, because our attorneys have experience on the insurance defense side. More importantly, we know how to overcome their tactics to get results for you.
