Types of Injuries
There are several types of repetitive motion injuries that construction workers develop regularly; however, the three most common are:
- Bursitis: A common type of injury that targets the body’s bursae, or fluid-filled sacs that act as a cushion for areas of friction between tendon and bone or skin
- Tendonitis: Tendon injuries that involve larger-scale acute injuries accompanied by inflammation
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Nerve damage in the wrist, which can cause loss of feeling in hands, movement degenerates (commonly associated with typing)
If you are experiencing pain, inflammation, numbness, swelling, or a tingling sensation in a joint that is constantly put to use, you should consult your doctor about the possibility of an injury. If you believe you may be eligible for compensation, our Oklahoma City personal lawyers can help you determine which steps to take next.
