Keyboarding Injuries: One of the most prevalent occupational injuries in an office environment is carpal tunnel syndrome caused by repetitive motions such as keyboarding and computer work. Sometimes repetitive motion injuries result in RSD (Reflex sympathetic dystrophy), a severely disabling disease. Our Colorado carpel tunnel injury attorney understands these diseases and can effectively argue your case.
Equipment Accidents: Falling objects from shelves, a hand stuck in an elevator door, a falling cubical wall, shaky shelves, unsteady shelves, and other accidents can cause serious workplace injuries. If your employer tells you the accident was your fault and not covered by his or her workers’ compensation policy, don’t believe them. Talk to a Colorado workers’ compensation lawyer who will make sure you know your rights, and that your employer is reminded of your rights.
Travel Accidents: If you are traveling as part of your job – a teacher accompanying her students on a field trip, an engineer driving to a construction site from another site or the office, or a technical consultant traveling to a plant or customer site from another plant or site, for example – your are covered by workers’ compensation. An accident in the field is covered as is an on-the-job car accident. Knowing your workers’ compensation rights will help you obtain the compensation and benefits that can help you through a difficult time.
Most health care workers, teachers, engineers, administrative assistants, managers, computer professionals, scientists, lab technicians, and other professional and office workers have workers’ comp benefits when injured as a part of the job.
