With over 28 years of experience as an Aurora workers' compensation injury lawyer, I can tell you that some of the most common workplace injuries I see are not the result of one specific incident. Many times a work-related injury is the result of an accumulation of repeated physical stress over time.
In other words, maybe it was not the last box you lifted that hurt you; maybe it was the first 10,000.
Among the more common injuries I see are:
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a condition involving the compression of a key nerve in the wrist; it is especially common in manufacturing/assembly line workers and people working in the meat processing industry.
Chronic Back Aches are seen across a wide range of jobs but are most common among construction workers, truck drivers, and laborers. Back injury can be acquired over time, or all at once. Herniated discs can cause extreme pain.
Traumatic Arthritis is typically suffered as the result of some type of abnormal, repetitive strain and can be seen in workers from any industry or business.
Cartilage Damage to knees, shoulders, and elbows is very common and can also be seen among a variety of workers but is most prevalent in jobs that involve more physical labor. Knee replacement is often required as a result of damage.
But your on the job injury does not have to be common at all to be very real just the same. They do not even have to be physical in nature. Perhaps you witnessed a traumatic event at work or suffered injuries in a work-related accident and still carry psychological scars that remain long after you have physically healed, the Illinois Worker’s Compensation Commission has recognized that emotional injuries can be as valid as physical ones.
