Repetitive motions can harm muscles, tendons and bones and cause long-term pain and injury. These injuries can impact your quality of life and prevent you from completing necessary tasks for your job.

PROVING CAUSATION TO GAIN BENEFITS
In order to receive workers' compensation in Ohio, you need to prove that your workplace either caused your injury or severely aggravated an existing injury. This means that you can receive benefits for a pre-existing condition that worsens due to your current role. Since a repetitive stress injury is not caused by a single, traumatic accident, it can be more difficult to prove causation than a typical workers’ compensation claim. With over 45 years of experience in workers compensation law, Thomas Evan Morgan understands how to formulate a strong case for your injury and can utilize the expert advice of physicians to secure the compensation you need to care for your health.
