Workers' Compensation

Workers' Compensation Injuries

If you’ve been injured on the job or while performing a task or errand for your employer, you are entitled to Workers' Compensation benefits. However, employers and insurance companies often try to avoid paying these benefits by denying or delaying claims. One common tactic used by insurance adjusters is refusing to authorize the medical treatment you need. Quandt Law Firm is here to help you secure approval for your claim and ensure you receive the necessary medical care.

Your injury doesn’t have to be the result of a clear physical accident, like a fall or car crash. Workers' Comp also covers overuse and repetitive strain injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and other chronic conditions caused by repetitive work. If your injury was caused by your job or occurred while performing job-related duties, you may be eligible for benefits.

Serious Physical Injuries

Workplace injuries often result from incidents such as trips and falls, heavy lifting, and accidents involving machinery or other equipment.

Traffic accidents are especially common among truck drivers, delivery drivers, and public transportation operators, while machinery-related accidents frequently occur in industries like construction, manufacturing, warehousing, and oil and gas.

Severe injuries can include broken bones and physical trauma that may require surgical intervention, such as knee surgery or replacement, neck or back surgery, shoulder surgery or replacement, elbow surgery, and carpal tunnel surgery for hand injuries.

Repetitive Trauma Injuries

Repetitive stress injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and bursitis, are eligible for workers' compensation benefits. Additionally, prolonged exposure to loud noises in the workplace can lead to hearing loss, which may also qualify for benefits, including coverage for hearing aids.

Jobs that involve constant typing or computer work can cause discomfort and pain, often symptoms of conditions like carpal tunnel or tendonitis. Workers' compensation claims for these types of injuries are not only possible but quite common.

Falls and improper lifting techniques are also frequent causes of workplace injuries. Office workers, in particular, may be less likely to receive proper training on safe lifting practices or the use of equipment designed to reduce the risk of injury.
