Oftentimes the physical demands of employment can become too cumbersome to the extent they cause actual wear and tear on your body. Please be aware that if this results in an injury, you can still file a claim for workers’ compensation benefits. The success of that claim will be dependent upon your ability to demonstrate the physical toll your work took on your body in terms of stress and the amount of time you were performing the injurious activity.

​

Also, please be advised that it is necessary to report the injury as quickly as possible, and ensure that it is documented by either your employer or a medical care provider. It is equally important that you emphasize to your employer and care provider alike the traumatic nature of your work and the lack of an alternative mechanism for the injury. If you have any questions regarding a routine, stress trauma injury, please feel free to contact our firm for additional information or assistance.
