Repetitive Stress Injuries

Repetitive stress injuries refer to any injury to any part of the body that is caused by overuse or overexertion. It is the more common term used to describe cumulative trauma injuries. Injuries may seem minor at first, but constant stress will result in a worsening of symptoms, sometimes resulting in permanent disability. Many people assume these injuries are age-related, but repetitive workplace stress can also be a cause. This means that an injured person is not only eligible for Social Security Disability (SSD), but also may be able to obtain workers’ compensation benefits.

Stockton Workers’ Comp Lawyers For Neck Injury, Carpal Tunnel And Other Conditions

If you have injuries that have developed or worsened over time, the California attorneys at the Law Offices of Kelly, Duarte, Urstoeger & Ruble LLP, can evaluate your situation to determine if you qualify for workers’ compensation, SSD or both. Our attorneys have extensive knowledge of and experience with the complex application processes for benefits.

You may qualify for workers’ compensation if you:

  • Are unable to sit at a desk, type, lift or perform other work functions
  • Are experiencing pain in your lower back, neck, shoulder, knee or other body part
  • Are experiencing orthopedic injury in your bones and muscles
  • Have been diagnosed with carpal tunnel, degenerative disc disease or another condition
  • Have experienced a steady loss in your hearing

If you qualify and have not yet applied for workers’ compensation benefits, we can navigate your case through every step in the process, from filing on your behalf to gathering medical evidence to representing you in court. Benefits for workers’ compensation may include lost wages, job retraining, current and future medical coverage and a permanent disability reward.

Additionally, if your initial SSD application has been denied, we can advocate for you during the appeals process, obtaining medical evidence that meets SSD standards and arguing your case at the court hearing and beyond.
