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 covered by Workers' Comp. Employers and insurance companies sometimes do not want to pay these benefits and will deny or delay your claim. A common approach used by insurance adjusters is to deny you the medical treatment you require. Quandt Law Firm can help in obtaining approval of your claim and getting the medical treatment you need

Your injury doesn't have to be an obvious physical injury, a fall or a car accident. Overuse and misuse injuries can be covered as well, including carpal tunnel, tendonitis and other chronic problems from repetitive work. Any injury caused by the job or on the job.

Serious Physical Injuries

Injuries on the job because of a trip and fall, heavy lifting, and accidents involving machinery or other objects are some of the most common injuries.

Traffic accidents are particularly common for truck and delivery drivers as well as public transportation drivers. While machinery accidents are more common in construction, manufacturing, warehousing and oil and gas industries.

Serious injuries may include broken bones and physical trauma that can lead to knee surgery or replacement, neck surgery, back surgery, shoulder surgery or replacement, elbow surgery and carpal tunnel hand surgery.

Repetitive Trauma Injuries

Repetitive, increasing trauma like carpal tunnel, tendonitis and bursitis are eligible for benefits. Working environments with constant exposure to loud noises can cause hearing loss, which may also qualify for workers' compensation benefits that may include hearing aids.

Any position or motion that requires constant typing or computer work can cause issues and pain that could be symptoms of carpal tunnel or tendonitis. Workers' compensation claims from this sort of injury are not only possible, but are common.

Falls and improper lifting are also common causes of injury. If you work in an office, you are less likely to receive training on how to lift heavy loads or other safety equipment that minimizes the risk of injury.
