Repetitive lifting and motion injuries are often questioned by employers and insurance companies. Injuries tend to be less dramatic in occurrence and go unnoticed by your employer. The pain can come hours after the injury takes place. From heavy lifting causing back and joint injuries to hours of typing resulting in carpal tunnel syndrome, you need someone on your side to help prove that you suffered these injuries on the job.
