Repetitive Injuries

For some people, the repetitive movements inherent in the performance of their jobs actually cause work injuries. The workers compensation attorneys at the Philadelphia law firm of Levin & Zeiger LLP understand repetitive injury cases. Our workers compensation attorneys file law suits in repetitive injury cases to speed-up financial recovery for our clients who suffered an injury at work.

Whether your claim is for Carpal tunnel syndrome, physical injury, or loss of hearing, the workers compensation attorneys at the Philadelphia law firm of Levin & Zeiger LLP take repetitive injury cases very seriously. Carpal tunnel syndrome can develop as the result of repetitive movements in the fingers, hands and wrists. Employees whose jobs entail constant lifting and carrying can develop severe and permanent back, neck and shoulder problems. Workers who are constantly exposed to a loud environment may suffer gradual hearing loss. Sometimes, these injuries become so severe that employees can no longer handle doing their jobs. Regardless of how much we love or hate our jobs, one common complaint is how monotonous work can be, with every day seeming the same as the last.

Employees who can no longer do their jobs because of a workplace injury worry how they are going to be able to support themselves and their families. Many people mistakenly believe that workers' compensation is for employees who are injured as the result of an accident or specific incident in the workplace. If you, a family member or a friend suffer from a repetitive injury which developed in the workplace, you are also entitled to workers' compensation benefits. If you believe you are suffering from a repetitive injury due to the nature of your job, you should consult with a doctor to determine the nature of your injury, and speak to an attorney as soon as possible to learn about your rights to receive benefits.

At Levin & Zeiger, LLP, we understand that representing workers' compensation claimants suffering from repetitive injuries requires particular types of skills and knowledge, as well as ability to understand your rights as an employee. We understand these issues, and work with our clients, their friends and family, as well as their doctors, psychologists, long-term care planners, and others - to assure that our clients receive not only the finest legal representation, but also the finest support and medical care.
