Many types of work have a physical component that needs to be repeated over and over. Performing those repetitive tasks over the course of many years can simply wear out those parts of the body which are worked the hardest such as:
- Back injuries — For those who work with stock, the average workday may include a high volume of bending and lifting that can take a real toll on the back.
- Wrist injuries — For those who work in office settings, years of using a computer mouse and typing can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome.
These types of claims are referred to as occupational claims. The fact that the basis of the injury is a direct responsibility of your job as opposed to an accident that happened on the job does not change the availability of workers' compensation benefits.
