Learn how repetitive stress injuries qualify for workers’ compensation and how they are evaluated.
Repetitive stress injuries develop gradually, which makes them different from sudden workplace accidents. This slow onset is one of the main reasons these claims are often disputed.
Common conditions include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and chronic joint degeneration caused by repeated motion or strain.
A key issue in these cases is that symptoms often appear long after the underlying cause has begun, making it difficult to connect the condition to specific job duties without detailed documentation.
