At the Eley Law Firm in Denver, we often talk to workers who have suffered back injuries because of repetitive lifting. The pressure on the back may not be immediately obvious — in fact, it usually is not.
Workers who have been injured on the job because of repetitive lifting often come to our law firm because their employer and the insurance company question how the back injury happened. The symptoms may not have happened until the worker got home after work, or it might even have taken several incidents before the symptoms occurred.
Proving a repetitive lifting injury can be difficult, but an experienced Colorado workers’ compensation attorney can guide you through the process of proving the cause and the severity of your injury.
Back injuries can be serious, can take time to heal and can require surgery. When the injury was caused by a workplace accident, medical bills and a percentage of lost wages should be paid by workers’ compensation.
If work caused your injury, even if the injury is not immediately obvious, you are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. Call our office in Denver at 303-785-2828 for a free case evaluation.
