Specific traumatic injuries are covered as well as repetitive injuries, although repetitive injuries are more difficult to prove. A lot of employees receive benefits for injuries that are caused by overuse or misuse over a long period of time, including carpal tunnel, tennis elbow, etc. Also, employers may be responsible for the future medical care arising out of a work-place injury, which makes it even more important to hire an experienced attorney who can mitigate this exposure.
