According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, repetitive stress injuries cost employers around $2 billion each year in workers’ compensation claims. These injuries also account for the greatest number of lost days of work, with around 18 days of work missed for each injury. In general, repetitive stress injuries grow worse over time. If left untreated, they can cause severe and sometimes permanent damage.
Types of repetitive stress injuries include:
Carpal tunnel syndrome, one of the most common types of repetitive stress injuries, is the swelling of the structures in the wrist, resulting in pressure on the median nerve.

Thus, it is important to take steps to treat and prevent carpal tunnel syndrome.

By giving employees ergonomically designed equipment, employers can help prevent repetitive stress injuries. Our firm has helped numerous clients achieve settlements through workers’ compensation insurance.
