Sacramento Repetitive Trauma Work Injury Lawyer
Get Help from Our Sacramento Workers' Comp Attorneys After Suffering Repetitive Trauma
Repetitive trauma, also known as cumulative trauma, repetitive motion injuries, and repetitive strain injuries, develops over time. Carpal tunnel syndrome, a debilitating injury of the wrist, is perhaps the most widely known example. However, repetitive trauma can impact almost any joint in the body.
At Smolich and Smolich, our Sacramento repetitive trauma injury attorneys have more than 40 years of experience handling cases involving repetitive trauma in the lower back, which can develop from years of heavy lifting, as well as those involving repetitive trauma in the knees, shoulders, and more.
Victims of repetitive strain injuries must realize that they have valid workers' compensation claims. Even if your injuries were not suffered in a single workplace accident, your claim is just as valid and your injuries are just as serious. In fact, these injuries can be career-ending in many cases.
