NY Workers’ Comp Lawyer Discusses Repetitive Motion / Stress Injuries

For New York workers, repetitive motion injuries (also known as repetitive stress injuries) can be debilitating. They can leave you unable to do your job, in pain, and perhaps in need of surgery or physical therapy to recover. In some cases, repetitive stress injuries (RSIs) may lead to a worker being out of work for a very long time.

If you are hurt on the job in NY because of a repetitive motion injury, you are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. Don’t let your employer try to convince you that RSIs are not ‘real injuries’ or that the injury is all your fault so you don’t deserve workers’ comp! Some employers will say anything to keep their employees from claiming the benefits they deserve after being sidelined by a repetitive stress injury.

Repetitive stress injuries are REAL. Sometimes it can be tough to get workers’ compensation for them because they aren’t dramatic injuries like a fall or a crash. They usually happen over time, and are common in jobs that require workers to engage in any kind of repetitive motion, maintain an awkward position, perform repeated heavy lifting, use repetitive force, and more.

Some causes of repetitive stress injuries in New York workers:

Repetitive, intense use of a computer or machine keyboard
Physical job tasks involving a limited range of motion
Manufacturing, processing, or data entry jobs where workers are pressured to meet ever higher quotas
Repetitive, heavy lifting like in delivery, construction, or stocking jobs

If you are suffering because of pain in your fingers, arm, wrist, back, legs, or other body part because a repetitive task has taken its toll, then it is time to get help.
