If you suspect that you may be suffering from a repetitive lifting or motion injury, it is important that you contact a skilled attorney, especially with the signing of the new workers' compensation act. At Hannigan & Botha, Ltd., we cut through the insurance company's legal roadblocks and resistance to help you prove that the injury you are suffering happened while you were working for your employer. We will help you get the compensation you need from the insurance company.
Repetitive lifting and motion injuries are often questioned by employers and insurance companies. Injuries tend to be less dramatic in occurrence and go unnoticed by your employer. The pain can come hours after the injury takes place. From heavy lifting causing back and joint injuries to hours of typing resulting in carpal tunnel syndrome, you need someone on your side to help prove that you suffered these injuries on the job.
Many times, heavy and repeated lifting is the culprit. The heavy loads you carry may put more stress on your back than it can safely manage. You might not immediately feel pain. It might take hours or even days for you to feel pain from the strain. But an injury has occurred.
Back injuries can become debilitating if they are not quickly and properly treated. Many times, surgery may be needed. These treatments are expensive. You are no longer sure about your future and your ability to work. You need the workers' compensation benefits that you are entitled to. We will fight for your rights and work to help you recover the benefits you need to pay your bills and provide for yourself and your family.
