Brooklyn Workers Comp Attorneys
While many work injuries are the result of a single event, one accident that causes serious harm, others develop over time. These are called repetitive stress injuries. The most commonly known repetitive stress injury is carpal tunnel syndrome. However, there is a wide range of injures that can occur because of tasks repeated day in and day out. Back injuries, shoulder injuries, knee injuries, elbow injuries and more can be repetitive stress injuries.
At the Robert A. Koenigsberg Law Offices, our lawyers have 20 years of experience handling workers' compensation cases, which is particularly valuable in repetitive stress injury cases. In these cases, there is a gray area. The exact date and time that the injury occurred cannot be pinpointed. Whenever there's a gray area, there is a greater likelihood that the workers' compensation insurance company will seek to avoid paying benefits. We work well in these gray areas, fighting to force insurance companies to do what is right for you.
Repetitive Stress Injuries Are Not Always Physical
Depression, anxiety and other mental health issues can be akin to a repetitive stress injuries. For example, if a worker is touched inappropriately in the workplace day after day over a period of weeks, that person may find himself or herself going to a psychiatrist and being treated with medications for a mental health condition. This may be a repetitive stress injury.
These cases are not easy. The workers' compensation company will point the finger back at the victim, asking why the sexual harassment was not reported immediately. Our experience allows us to handle cases that are this complex and challenging.
