Repetitive trauma injuries are injuries that develop over time. The most common injuries involve carpal tunnel syndrome, back injuries or hip injuries. These are injuries that develop due to constant stress on a body part caused by work activities. A workers' compensation claim involving a repetitive trauma injury is very often denied by the workers' compensation carrier. The medical records and medical providers can be crucial in this type of case. You must have a medical professional express an opinion that your repetitive trauma is directly related to your regular work activities. This may require a meeting with the doctor or a deposition of the doctor. To successfully prosecute your repetitive trauma case it may be necessary to send you to a doctor of our choosing for an independent medical exam.
