Atlanta, Georgia Workers' Compensation Attorneys – Hand, Wrist, Elbow and Arm Injuries
As Atlanta, Georgia Workers’ Compensation Attorneys, we understand just how devastating a work injury to your hands, wrist, elbow or arm can be. Hand, wrist, elbow and arm injuries can be devastating because they impact not only your ability to work in almost any type of job but also your ability to do even the most basic of life tasks. Without your upper extremities, you cannot lift things, carry things, touch or pick up things. Injuries to the hand, wrist, elbow or arm can also be extremely painful, in addition to being disabling.
If you suffer injuries to the hands, wrist, elbow or arm as a result of performing your job, your employer may be responsible for paying for your costs. If your injury has caused you to be limited in the type of work that you do or unable to do any work at all, then your employer may also have to pay for lost wages and disability benefits. The compensation for work injuries is available through workers’ compensation programs.
If you have experienced any type of injury at work to your hand, wrist, elbow, arm or other body part, it is important to contact an Atlanta, Georgia Workers’ Compensation Attorneyas soon as possible. There are strict deadlines to follow when making work injury claims, and even when you do everything right, employers and insurers don’t always provide the full compensation they are supposed to. For all of these reasons, it pays to have an Atlanta, Georgia Workers’ Compensation Lawyer on your side.

Common Causes of Hand, Wrist, Elbow and Arm Workplace Injuries
Because you use your upper extremities so often, hand, wrist, elbow and arm injuries can develop in a number of different ways. For instance, these types of injuries may be caused by:
- Over-exertion
- Falls
- Bodily motions including reaching, sitting, slipping or tripping
- Being hit by an object or hitting an object
- Auto accidents
- Being crushed or caught in something
- Repetitive stress
Each of these different injury causes is listed on the Liberty Mutual 2011 Workplace Safety Index listing of the 10 most common workplace injuries. In fact, overexertion work injuries alone cost $12.75 billion throughout the U.S. in 2009. Whether your injury to your hand, wrist, elbow or arm happened in a single accident or happened because you put too much stress on your upper limbs over time, your employer should be responsible for paying you compensation through workers’ comp. This is true regardless of any negligence, or lack thereof, on your part or on the part of your employer, and it is true no matter where the injury happened as long as it was directly caused by work performance. An Atlanta, Georgia Workers’ Compensation Lawyer can help you to demonstrate that your upper extremity injury was work related.
