What Are Cumulative Trauma Injuries?

Cumulative trauma injuries are those that occur over time often due to prolonged and repetitive work duties. Below are just a few examples of the types of cases in which we have successfully represented our clients with their cumulative trauma injuries:

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Repetitive Back Strain
• Illnesses and Diseases from exposure to asbestos, paint or other toxins
• Construction, factory or vocational injuries caused by performing repetitive motions and duties
• Illnesses from hazardous exposure
• Respiratory injuries
• Hearing loss and Vision loss
• Psychological injuries (including but not limited to anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder) to sleep loss and stomach problems due to ongoing stress on the job

One sign that repetitive work duties have caused injury or disability is when an employee begins taking over-the-counter pain reliever during or after work. Additionally, should an employee need to wear a wrist brace, back support or other assistive device while working, this may be a sign that repetitive, prolonged work duties have caused injury. For others, it may be needing to lie down and rest after returning home from a long day’s work to alleviate pain and discomfort from a work day. These are signs that work may be causing the employee’s pain and injury.
