Re: Occupational Disease
You need to contact a competent Workers Compensation attorney as soon as possible. Under the law you have a possible ODNCR (occupational disability with notice that is causally related) due to repetitive stress injury on your shoulder. The question of whether or not you can bring a Workers Compensation claim has to due with when you discovered or should have discovered that your shoulder injury was due to work related activities. If you want a competent attorney with years of workers compensation experience (former NYC Law Department attorney)then contact me immediately. Time is of the essence.
