Your injuries could be considered work-related, but you have to provide medical evidence to support your claim. There are many laws in workers compensation which govern the medical evidence, and if not done correctly, the injured worker will most like end up with poor medical reporting, or worse, inadmissible medical reports.

There are several factors that may play a major role to determine whether your injuries are work-related or not such as your job duties and how long you have been doing them. You may be suffering from a type of injury called continuous trauma which may not require an industrial accident. Feel free to call me at 213.388.7070 for a free consultation.
