Repetitive stress injuries develop over time due to repeated motions, overuse, or prolonged strain at work. These injuries are common but often misunderstood and unfairly denied by employers or insurance companies.
Repetitive stress injuries (RSIs), also known as repetitive motion or cumulative trauma injuries, occur when repeated physical movements cause damage to muscles, tendons, nerves, or joints over time. Unlike sudden workplace accidents, RSIs gradually worsen and may not show symptoms immediately.
Workers compensation laws protect employees who suffer repetitive stress injuries caused by their job duties.
Repetitive Stress Injuries are often caused by:
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Tendinitis
Back and Neck Injuries
Repetitive Strain Disorders
Repetitive stress injuries are covered under workers compensation laws in most states when the injury is work-related.
