All About Cumulative Trauma Workers’ Comp In Georgia
Repetitive stress or repetitive strain injuries are also sometimes known as cumulative trauma. These gradual onset workplace injuries often involve:
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Cubital tunnel syndrome
- Chronic tendonitis
- Repetitive lifting spinal degradation
- Joint erosion
- Overuse strain
One of the most important pieces of medical causation evidence for repetitive stress injuries is a treating doctor’s opinion on your daily job ergonomics. Under O.C.G.A. § 34-9-80, injured workers must provide notice to their employer within 30 days of the accident. For gradual onset injuries, state law defines the date of an accident differently from that of a one-time, sudden event. The start date of a repetitive stress injury might be the date you were forced to stop working or the date a doctor diagnosed the condition.
Does Georgia Workers’ Comp Cover Carpal Tunnel And Repetitive Strain?
Yes. Georgia law fully covers cumulative trauma from job duties. Workers suffering from wear-and-tear injuries in industrial and factory settings have the right to medical treatment and disability benefits through workers’ compensation.
