Neck Strain

In certain jobs, you may be required to perform repetitive tasks as part of your daily duties. Employees who must talk on the phone or look at a computer screen for long periods of time may be at heightened risk for a neck strain injury while on the job. Though immediate pain might be the most noticeable symptom of this condition, sometimes strain can gradually worsen overtime.

In most companies, employers guarantee workers’ compensation benefits to employees that are hurt while performing their jobs. Though these benefits can be extremely helpful, they are often difficult to get due to the bureaucracy of the process, hurried deadlines and excessive paperwork. If you are looking to file a claim with your employer, you may want to consider hiring an experienced attorney to handle the case for you.

To learn more about the benefits to which you may be entitled, or to discuss your case with a knowledgeable legal professional, call the New Jersey workers’ compensation lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A. at 1-888-389-COMP today.

Symptoms of Neck Strain

The following symptoms may be indicative of neck strain or nerve damage within the neck:

  • Tingling
  • Weakness
  • Numbness
  • Lower back pain
  • Lack of coordination
  • Dizziness
  • Stiffness
  • Difficulty chewing, swallowing or breathing (If you experience these symptoms, call for medical help right away.)

Being hurt on the job can be extremely debilitating, leaving you unable to work, provide for your family, or simply take care of yourself in the manner that you are accustomed. Workers’ compensation benefits may not be able to heal your pain, but they may be able to help alleviate some of the financial burden on your family from medical bills or lost wages due to missed work.
