Denied Workers’ Compensation Claims

What Is an Occupational Disease?

Any injury may be covered, regardless of whether the accident was your or someone else’s fault. Most accidents occur on the job and are easy to know they are work related.  Some injuries are more difficult to realize they are work injuries. Many people develop conditions such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome by doing the same work activity over and over.  These type of medical problems may also be work injuries.
