Connecticut Repetitive Motion Trauma Attorneys
Workers' Compensation and on-the-Job Injury Legal Help in Connecticut Since 1978
Workers' compensation cases tend to involve single-incident injuries, like an on-the-job car accident, a machinery accident or a broken bone from a fall. Repetitive motion injuries, though, also occur commonly and, when they do, they can be difficult to litigate. Why?
Repetitive trauma injuries occur over time, so it's difficult to determine when they occurred, and which employer is liable. Often, employers and their insurers will claim that a former employer is liable for repetitive motion injuries. When this occurs, they will bring in other defendants so that, quite possibly, two or more of the victim's employers will share liability regarding costs and compensation.
At Gillis Law Firm we have handled thousands of workers' compensation cases, including numerous cases involving repetitive trauma injuries, including:
- Carpal tunnel
- Damage to bones, knees, shoulders, wrists and the back
- Hearing loss
A "typical" repetitive trauma case might look like this. A brick layer or manual laborer has repeatedly experienced stress to a knee or knees, and needs a new knee. A medical inquiry into the cause of the damage indicates workplace trauma. We can work with medical providers and other experts to further demonstrate that workplace repetitive motion trauma led to the medical condition and litigate for damages. If the defendant attempts to hold the victim's former employer(s) responsible for the injuries, we can handle the full complexity of the case.
