Iowa Workers' Comp for Cumulative/Repetitive Tasks Causing Work Injuries (Part A)

An Iowa Workers' Comp claim may be filed if you sustained work-related injuries caused by cumulative or repetitive tasks. Compensation could address missed income, medical bills and more. You should speak to a Des Moines work injury lawyer to learn what options may be available.

Cumulative/Repetitive Work-Related Injuries

A cumulative or repetitive injury can occur if you are in a fixed position for a long period of time. It can also occur with movement that is constant and/or overused.

For instance, let’s say you work as an assembly line worker at Tyson Foods, Inc. The constant motion on the line could lead to a shoulder injury. If you work as a checker at Walmart, scanning bar codes could lead to a wrist injury.

Some of the other types of work that may lead to the filing of an Iowa Workers' Comp claim stemming from a cumulative or repetitive injury include:

• filing;
• keyboarding;
• jackhammering;
• pipe setting;
• painting;
• driving;
• massaging;
• stocking;
• sanding;
• sawing; and
• polishing.

This type of injury may affect jobs including office workers, mechanics, postal workers, musical instrument teachers and construction workers. Any job duties in which there is repetitive movement for a prolonged time can lead to debilitating injuries.

When you believe that your work duties have injured you, don’t hesitate in learning what your rights are. The mistake that many workers make is thinking an injury must occur suddenly in order to qualify for Workers' Comp. However, many injuries develop over a period of time.

Contact a Des Moines work injury lawyer to evaluate the details of your case carefully and explain what your rights are. An attorney will determine if you have a legitimate Iowa Workers' Comp claim and if you are entitled to receive compensation.
