Common Work-Related Repetitive Stress Injuries
Repetitive or harmful motion injuries happen when the same movements wear down muscles, joints, and tendons over time. They often start as mild soreness but become serious, lasting pain. Some of the most common examples include:
- Carpal tunnel syndrome : pressure on the wrist from typing, sewing, or using small tools repeatedly.
- Rotator cuff tears : damage caused by lifting or reaching overhead for long hours.
- Tendonitis and elbow strain: pain from repetitive gripping, bending, or pushing motions.
- Herniated discs and back injuries: common among workers who bend, twist, or lift boxes all day.
- Orthopedic injuries : damage to muscles, joints, or bones.
- Chronic pain or nerve damage: from repeated strain or vibration exposure in factory or warehouse work.
These injuries affect people in manufacturing, healthcare, office jobs, warehouse work, and construction—any job that involves steady, repeated motion.
Who Is at Risk for These Injuries?
Anyone who performs the same task again and again could be at risk. Factory and textile workers, warehouse staff, assembly line operators, and office employees often experience these injuries. Even jobs that seem light-duty can cause harm over time if movements are repetitive or poorly supported by workplace ergonomics.
Proving a Work-Caused Repetitive Motion Injury
To receive workers’ compensation in North Carolina, you must show that your injury is directly related to your work and that your job duties put you at greater risk than the average person. That’s not always easy—especially when symptoms develop slowly. Attorney Jay Gervasi works with doctors, medical experts, and vocational specialists to build strong cases that connect your injury to your work environment. He’ll help gather medical records, describe your job tasks in detail, and prove that your daily work caused the condition.
Workers’ Compensation Benefits for Repetitive Stress Injuries
If your repetitive motion injury qualifies for benefits, you may receive:
- Coverage for medical treatment, physical therapy, or surgery
- Partial wage replacement if you can’t work temporarily
- Compensation for lasting disability or reduced strength and mobility
- Job retraining if you can’t return to your previous position
Getting these benefits often requires persistence and proper documentation—something Jay Gervasi helps every client with personally.
