Repetitive Stress Injuries Workers’ Compensation Lawyers in Florida

Does Workers’ Compensation Cover RSI?

When we think of work-related injuries, Repetitive Stress Injury isn’t always the first thing that comes to mind, but it is a workplace injury regardless. If left to develop and persist without treatment, RSI can have lasting effects like chronic pain, limited mobility, muscle loss, and the inability to perform your work duties. Florida law requires employers to purchase workers’ compensation insurance to cover work related injuries, including RSI.

If you think that you may be suffering from an RSI, it’s important to act immediately. First, report the injury and your symptoms to your employer, creating a paper trail. It’s also vital to have documentation of the injury, so you need to see a doctor for medical treatment as well. The longer you wait, the worse your injury can become, and it may be harder to file a claim.

Because RSIs develop over time, they can be tough to document and prove. However, with over 45 years of legal experience, our Florida Work Injury lawyers will fight for you and ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve.
