Philadelphia Repetitive Stress Injury Attorney
Many injured workers suffer from injuries caused by microtrauma from repetitive use, repetitive motion, or overuse of a body part. Insurance companies often deny these injuries claiming they are not work-related. Do not be fooled — you likely have a case. Office workers, typists, machinists and cashiers are often affected.
The medical diagnosis for repetitive stress injuries can include carpal tunnel, cubital tunnel, radial tunnel, tendonitis or any other injury caused by repetitive motion. You are entitled to medical care and lost wages by law under the Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation Act for these work-related injuries.
Proving that your repetitive stress injury is work-related can be challenging. The Philadelphia law firm of Huber & Palsir, LLC can help you. For more than 20 years, we have been passionately representing injured people in workers' compensation cases. We frequently handle cases like these.

Repetitive stress injuries such as tendonitis, tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), carpal tunnel syndrome and cubital tunnel syndrome are caused by too many repetitions of a particular motion without interruption, as well as by being required to perform awkward or unnatural motions and by overexertion. Overuse of a body part at work and jobs which involve vibrating tools or other products can also contribute to these types of injuries.
These injuries can be extremely painful. Because they are injuries to the nerve, symptoms include numbness, tingling, and burning sensations that make it difficult to concentrate, work, or even sleep.
If not treated, a repetitive stress injury can cause permanent nerve damage and loss of function, as well as damage to muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Your health and your ability to earn a living could be at risk.
Insurance companies and the doctors they want you to see often claim that a repetitive stress injury is diagnosed incorrectly, that it is not a work injury, or that it is a pre-existing condition. They ignore the fact that your job duties caused this condition or aggravated a pre-existing condition to the point that you can no longer work, both of which can be compensable injuries.
The lawyers at Huber & Palsir have the experience and skill to prove these claims and to counter insurance company tactics. We will put in the time and work necessary to develop the evidence required to prove to the court exactly how your work injury occurred.
Our goal is to help you obtain full and fair compensation for all of your medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and other bills. If your injury keeps you away from work for at least seven days, you may also be entitled to wage loss benefits. We can also help you obtain Social Security disability Insurance benefits if your condition has prevented or will prevent you from working for at least 12 months.
