Injuries Caused
Every year, there are literally hundreds of thousands of work related injuries and illnesses in the State of Arizona.
When injuries occur, the injured party sometimes contacts a Phoenix personal injury attorney to handle the claim. Often times these past few years, the most frequent category of workplace injuries is caused by repetitive motions of the body. These occupational pains may go by many names including repetitive stress injuries or RSI's, repeated motion injuries or RMI's or cumulative trauma disorders, or CTD's.
A lot of injuries continue to involve the wrists, forearms or hands. Such injuries are often times classified as carpal tunnel syndrome. People who develop these symptoms may be involved in office work in which they spend much of their working day typing at computer terminals. When such people develop such injuries they some consider using the services of a Phoenix personal injury attorney.
The symptoms of a repetitive stress injury sometimes are swelling, pain, either sharp or dull or both, redness near bone joints, sensitivity to movement and external touch, and/or numbness of the affected body part or those near it. Work related cumulative motion injuries are typically covered by workers' compensation insurance.
Worker's who receive compensation can receive treatment and can often times be cured.
