Some workplace injuries build slowly. Repeating the same motions every day can lead to pain, numbness, weakness, stiffness, and reduced mobility over time.
If your job duties caused or worsened a repetitive stress condition, California Workers Injury Law Center can help you understand your rights and pursue benefits available under California workers’ compensation law.
Employees in offices, warehouses, hotels, healthcare settings, retail businesses, manufacturing facilities, restaurants, and construction jobs may all develop repetitive stress injuries.
Common conditions include:
Because these conditions often develop gradually, workers may not immediately realize that their job is contributing to the problem.
California workers’ compensation law recognizes injuries caused by repeated job duties over time.
A cumulative trauma claim in Anaheim may involve weeks, months, or years of physical activity. The important question is whether your work contributed to or aggravated the condition.
Insurance companies may dispute these claims by arguing that symptoms are related to age, a prior injury, or activities outside of work. Medical records, job descriptions, and a clear history of your regular duties can be important evidence.
You may want legal guidance if:
Attorney Rae Sadeghian-Levin previously represented insurance carriers in workers’ compensation matters. She now uses that experience to help injured employees understand how insurers evaluate repetitive motion and cumulative trauma claims.
If repetitive work has caused ongoing pain, numbness, weakness, or another lasting condition, you may have a workers’ compensation claim.
California Workers Injury Law Center offers free consultations and no upfront attorney fees.
