Illinois Worker’s Compensation Lawyer
Repetitive stress injuries are those injuries causes by repetitive tasks, forceful exertions, compression, or sustained or awkward positions. Many repetitive stress injuries are caused by work-related activities, such as extended computer use, reading or looking down for long periods of time, carrying heavy items, standing for long periods of time, or the prolonged use of the hands, wrists, back, neck or other part of the body.
When repetitive stress injuries are incurred as a result of work-related activities, the injured employee is entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. Repetitive stress injuries can be difficult to prove, however, so employees and their insurers may dispute the payment of workers’ compensation benefits for these types of injuries. Accordingly, the help and guidance of an experienced Illinois workers’ compensation attorney like Bogdan Martinovich can be instrumental to the success of a workers’ compensation claim. If you suffer from a repetitive stress injury as a result of work-related activities, contact knowledgeable Lake County repetitive stress injury attorney Bogdan Martinovich to learn more about how he can help you with your workers’ compensation claim.

What to Do If You Suffer from a Repetitive Trauma Injury
If you suffer from a repetitive stress injury as a result of work-related activities, it is important to notify your employer of the diagnosis as soon as possible in order to protect your workers’ compensation rights. Workers’ compensation claims must be filed within a specified time period folding the date of the workplace accident that resulted in the injury. Repetitive stress injuries can be difficult to date, however, because the injury is incurred over a period of time. For this reason, the statute of limitations will likely begin as of the date of diagnosis.
If you have been diagnosed with a repetitive stress injury, contact the knowledgeable Illinois workers’ compensation attorney Bogdan Martinovich at (847) 996-1350 to obtain legal advice and counsel on how to adequately document your repetitive stress injury and properly file a workers’ compensation claim with the appropriate supporting documentation.
