Carpal Tunnel in the Workplace

The Georgia workers’ compensation injury attorneys at Van Sant Law have seen the debilitating effects that repetitive motion disorders and repetitive stress injuries can have on employees. If you have developed carpal tunnel or another condition due to the nature of your work, you may be entitled to seek compensation or disability benefits for your injury. Contact a Georgia workers’ compensation lawyer as soon as possible to pursue a workers’ compensation claim, to receive assistance so that you understand your legal rights or to appeal a workers’ compensation claim if you have been denied.

In 2009, the ninth most common type of workplace injuries were repetitive motion or repetitive stress injuries. Repetitive stress complications resulted in losses of $1.97 billion, according to the Liberty Mutual 2011 Workplace Safety Index. These types of injuries can encompass conditions or complications that happen when a body part is put under repeated strain or stress, including:

  • Trigger finger
  • Tenosynovitis
  • Epicondylitis
  • Ganglion cyst
  • Bursitis
  • Tendonitis
  • Carpal tunnel

These injuries occur when employees repeat a motion or activity too many times, thus eventually causing damage to the nerves, ligaments, muscles, tendons, joints or bones in the body. The conditions are particularly common in individuals who work at computers, who are in the meatpacking industry, who sew on a regular basis or employees who perform line work. Additionally, certain types of repetitive motion injuries can be disabling and painful, and many individuals never fully recover from them.
