Re: worker's comp
Assuming that there is a clear causal connection between the condition and your employment, you are entitled to benefits from your employer. A repetitive trauma is considered an aggravation of a pre-existing condition. Consequently, each day that you work is considered a new trauma. Please feel free to call me or my partner, Jim Monaghan to discuss this further.
