WORKERS COMP COMMON INJURIES

Illinois Work Injury Attorneys

Below are some work-related injuries that we have seen in our practice. The list does not include every injury, just the most common. If you have any questions, or you have been injured at work, call Franks & Rechenberg, P.C. to speak to an Illinois work injury attorney. We look forward to hearing from you.

Single Incident or Sudden Injuries

These injuries are what most people think of when talking about worker’s compensation issues. A UPS driver lifts a heavy box and pulls a muscle in his back. Someone slips and falls on a slippery floor and lands on their shoulder.

Repetitive Stress Injuries

These injuries can be the same as the single incident injuries. Only the cause is different. Instead of a single incident, injuries can result from years of repetitive stress.

Whether it happens all at once, or over a period of months or years, we have handled worker’s compensation cases that involved

rotator cuff tear
torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament)
torn MCL (medial collateral ligament)
torn meniscus
back injury, e.g. bulging disk or herniated disc
neck injury
knee / hip replacement
carpal tunnel syndrome
hearing loss
heart attack / stroke
lateral epicondylitis
cubital tunnel syndrome
tarsal tunnel syndrome
ulnar nerve transposition
rsd (reflex sympathetic dystrophy)

If you are Injured at Work

The first step is to tell your supervisor and file an incident report. Because these injuries happened on the job, you are entitled to compensation for wage loss and rehabilitation.

In order to make sure that you are compensated for your injury, call Franks & Rechenberg, P.C. David N. Rechenberg has guided people through the worker’s compensation system for 18 years. We can assist you in getting a just settlement or award. Please visit our verdicts and settlements page for examples of our results.
