In addition to these injuries, there are many other minor to critical injuries that could make you eligible for compensation. Many of the injuries that workers are likely to suffer from are referred to as repetitive trauma injuries, which result from repeating the same task over time. Stress-related injuries are also possible, such as heart attacks, strokes, and psychological trauma. These types of injuries are more challenging to prove in workers’ compensation cases, but a reputable workers’ compensation attorney may be able to help recover compensation in any case.
