Nerve and Tendon Injuries

Connecticut Workers' Compensation for Nerve and Tendon Injuries

Nerve and tendon injuries can be painful. They can also be long-lasting and have a serious impact on a person's ability to do his or her daily activities. These injuries can include:

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  • Cubital tunnel syndrome
  • Pinched nerves from herniated disks
  • Radiculopathy (a compressed nerve in the spine that causes pain, numbness, and weakness)
  • Sciatica
  • Tendinitis
  • ACL/MCL/PCL tears
  • Achille's tendon tears

These injuries can result from the repetitive motion that some jobs require. A repetitive trauma work injury can occur in several ways, whether through physical compression (pinched nerve) or from inflammation or trauma from overuse. If you or a family member has suffered nerve or tendon injuries on the job, you may have the right to pursue workers' compensation. Our Board Certified Connecticut work injury lawyer can help you do it.

Chronic Injuries Can Be Difficult To Diagnose Or Treat

Many workers who do a lot of physical labor may not recognize the pain of nerve or tendon damage as something that warrants attention. That means that these injuries can sometimes become chronic and more difficult to treat. They can also be difficult to diagnose.

If you're a worker who is having pain, it is important that you see a doctor to get to the bottom of the issue, even if the answer is not immediately evident. Even minor pain that you normally ignore could represent an underlying problem that could get worse if untreated.

For example, if you have lower back pain that you brush off as a simple strain, you may be tempted not to mention it in a doctor's appointment. If you don't mention that injury in a workers compensation claim, however, and it later becomes clear that your initial pain was an indicator of a more serious work-related injury  you can't go back and recoup your costs by amending your initial claim. Therefore, you would miss out on potentially vital compensation to help you pay medical bills related to that injury.

If you're experiencing persistent pain that you suspect is related to your job, you need an accurate medical diagnosis. You also need a lawyer.
