Workers' Compensation
Workers' Compensation Injuries
If you’ve been hurt on the job or while handling a task for your employer, you have the right to Workers' Compensation benefits. Unfortunately, employers and insurance companies often attempt to dodge these obligations by denying or delaying claims. A common tactic used by insurance adjusters is refusing to approve essential medical treatment. At Quandt Law Firm, we are committed to helping you get your claim approved and ensuring you receive the medical care you need.
Not Just Accidents — Repetitive Strain Injuries Count Too
Workplace injuries don’t always result from a sudden accident. Workers' Compensation also covers repetitive strain and overuse injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and other chronic conditions caused by repetitive motions. If your injury happened because of your job — whether through a single incident or repetitive work — you may be eligible for benefits.
Serious Physical Injuries
Workplace accidents commonly involve slips, trips, falls, heavy lifting, or machinery mishaps.
- Traffic accidents are frequent among truck drivers, delivery personnel, and public transit operators.
- Machinery-related accidents often occur in industries like construction, manufacturing, warehousing, and oil and gas.
Severe injuries may require surgical intervention, including:
- Knee surgery or replacement
- Neck or back surgery
- Shoulder surgery or replacement
- Elbow surgery
- Carpal tunnel surgery for hand injuries
Repetitive Trauma Injuries
Repetitive stress injuries — such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and bursitis — are also covered by Workers' Compensation. Additionally, prolonged exposure to workplace noise can cause hearing loss, which may qualify for benefits, including hearing aid coverage.
Jobs that demand continuous typing or computer work often lead to discomfort and pain, common symptoms of repetitive strain injuries. Filing a Workers' Compensation claim for these conditions is not only possible — it’s quite common.
Preventable Workplace Injuries
Falls and improper lifting techniques are frequent causes of workplace injuries. Office workers, in particular, may not receive adequate training on safe lifting practices or the use of ergonomic equipment designed to reduce injury risk. If your job has left you injured, you shouldn’t have to face it alone. Quandt Law Firm is here to help you navigate the process and fight for the benefits you deserve.
