A Look at Repetitive Motion Injuries

In machines, moving parts are much more susceptible to wear and tear than non-moving parts. This is true of the human body, too. Repetitive motion injuries, also referred to as overexertion injuries, are the result of repetitive movements lasting weeks, months, or even years. Over time, the body parts that are overworked can wear out and break down.

If you’re suffering from a repetitive motion injury stemming from your work environment, you may be eligible to receive workers’ compensation benefits. Contact a workers’ comp lawyer in San Jose to discuss your injury and the process of filing for workers’ compensation benefits. Repetitive motion injuries are commonly denied for workers’ compensation, so you’ll want to make sure you have the best legal representation behind you before you file for benefits.
