Repetitive Stress Injuries Can Be Just as Serious as Sudden Accidents

You don’t have to suffer a traumatic fall or machinery accident to be eligible for workers’ compensation. Many Pennsylvania workers develop repetitive stress injuries (RSIs) simply by doing their jobs—day in and day out. If you’re in pain from years of repetitive motion, typing, lifting, or standing, an experienced attorney for repetitive stress injury workers comp at Pisanchyn Law Firm can help you get the benefits you’re owed.

What Is a Repetitive Stress Injury?

Repetitive stress injuries occur over time due to repeated motions or overuse of certain muscles, joints, or tendons. Common RSIs include:

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome

  • Tendonitis

  • Bursitis

  • Rotator cuff injuries

  • Lower back strain

  • Trigger finger

  • Epicondylitis (tennis or golfer’s elbow)

These conditions often affect office workers, factory employees, nurses, warehouse staff, mechanics, and anyone performing physically repetitive tasks.

Symptoms of Repetitive Stress Injuries

Early symptoms of RSIs can be subtle, but over time they may include:

  • Tingling, numbness, or burning sensations

  • Weakness in hands, arms, or legs

  • Persistent stiffness or aching

  • Limited range of motion

  • Increased pain with specific tasks

If left untreated, RSIs can become permanent—and disabling.

Am I Eligible for Workers’ Compensation for an RSI?

Yes. Under Pennsylvania law, repetitive motion injuries are considered valid work-related injuries. You may be entitled to:

  • Coverage for all medical treatment

  • Wage loss benefits if you can’t work or need to reduce hours

  • Specific loss benefits for permanent impairment

  • Vocational rehabilitation, if you can’t return to your original job

But proving a repetitive injury is often harder than proving an accident—especially without legal help. That’s why it’s important to speak with a skilled workers comp attorney who understands RSI claims.
