Repetitive Trauma Injuries

Columbia Carpal Tunnel Injury Lawyers

Columbia Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI) Attorneys

There are two types of injuries, those that happen as the result of one traumatic incident and those that occur over a period of time. Back injuries are a good example of the type of severe, disabling injury that can occur either all at once or due to repetitive trauma or stress.

Repetitive trauma injuries occur over time. In the workplace, these injuries are most often caused by the stress of repetitive motion (bending, lifting, climbing, typing) or repeated injury caused by the operation of heavy equipment or machinery. Examples include:

• Back injury due to repetitive motion such as bending or lifting goods;
• Spine trauma resulting from driving a forklift or operating equipment;
• Carpal tunnel syndrome caused by repetitive stress, such as typing at a computer keyboard; or
• Damage to the knees or other joints through repetitive activities such as climbing ladders or stairs.

The lawyers of Popowski & Shirley, P.A., have substantial experience in recognizing repetitive trauma injury cases and in obtaining workers’ compensation benefits for our injured clients.
