New Jersey Repetitive Motion/Strain Injury Lawyers

In certain jobs, where one motion is performed on a continuous basis, it is likely that employees may develop a repetitive motion or strain injury, damaging the fragile tissue in their hands, wrists, joints, or fingers. One common injury of this nature is carpal tunnel syndrome, which can stem from excessive computer use without adequate ergonomic support.

Other types of repetitive motion injuries include tendinitis and bursitis. Worker’s compensation exists to help you pay for the treatment of these injuries and compensate you for any time you have missed from work during the recovery process. If you have questions about your worker’s compensation claim, or feel that you are entitled to more money than you have been allotted, contact the New Jersey workplace injury lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A. at 800-346-5529 today.

Causes of Repetitive Strain Injuries

Some of the most common causes of repetitive motion injuries include the following:

  • Performance of a repetitive activity
  • Trauma to the injury site
  • Crystal deposits (present with gout)
  • Friction in or at the injury site
  • Systemic disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis

Oftentimes, twisting, snapping, or turning motions can cause delicate, microscopic tissues to tear within your body. When the body cannot repair these tears, the tissue becomes inflamed and causes you pain. This injury can be devastating, no matter where it occurs. It may prevent you from doing activities you once enjoyed or living a healthy, pain-free life.
