Repetitive Motion Injuries

Our law firm relentlessly advocates for injured workers

Many workers have jobs that involve repeating the same motions over and over, each work day. This repetitive motion can take its toll over time, and affect a worker’s ability to do the job. Employees who suffer from repetitive motion injuries are eligible for workers’ compensation benefits, but the claims process can be complicated. Serving Ridgeland, Jackson and all of Mississippi, Tabor Law Firm, P.A. can help.

Our firm has been helping workers with repetitive motion injuries make successful claims for years. An experienced workers’ compensation lawyer at our firm knows the laws and how the system works. The Mississippi Workers’ Compensation Commission, which handles disputes over benefits, is just minutes away from our office. We know the commissioners and judges who handle these disputes and what type of evidence they expect to see.

On-the-job injuries involving repetitive motion often occur in the hands, wrists, arms, elbows and can also affect the shoulder, back and knees. Over time, performing the same motion repeatedly causes damage to muscles, nerves, tendons and ligaments. The result is pain and limited mobility. These injuries can occur at any job, but are often seen in offices, factories, food processing plants and construction.

Obstacles workers face

These injuries can be treated, but that treatment often involves resting the affected body part. This usually leaves workers unable to perform the duties of their job. They may miss time from work, losing income while faced with new medical expenses for their injury. Workers’ compensation benefits cover the costs of medical treatment, and also provide partial wages while a worker is temporarily disabled. But getting those benefits is not always easy.

Employers and insurance companies challenge claims made by injured workers. Claims can be denied. Or employers may pressure an injured employee to return to work even though he or she is still recovering from the injury. Employers and insurance companies have lawyers to fight their case for them at hearings. That’s why you need your own attorney.
