Back injuries do not always show up the way people expect. Sometimes they happen in one moment, and other times they build up over months of hard work. Either way, workers’ compensation looks at them differently depending on how the injury happened and how it affects your job.
One wrong lift, twist, or fall can cause serious damage to your back. Even if there was no big accident, repetitive motion can wear down soft tissue and lead to real pain. Spinal injuries, slipped discs, and muscle strain are all common among people who do physical work every day.
These injuries are especially common on construction sites. Our Riverside construction accident lawyers can help you navigate the claims process.
Many people try to push through the discomfort, especially if the pain comes and goes. It is only when the injury starts getting in the way of your job or daily life that it becomes clear something more serious is going on. A work accident lawyer from DiMarco | Araujo | Montevideo understands how this happens and can help you explain why your pain took time to report.
Back injuries can show up in all kinds of jobs, from warehouse work to desk jobs. Whether the pain started after a single incident or crept in slowly over time, these injuries can still qualify for workers’ compensation. It all depends on what caused the injury and how it affects your ability to do your job.
Here are some of the most common back injuries we see in workers’ compensation claims:
Even the injuries that seem small at first can lead to serious problems if you do not get treatment. If left unaddressed, pain and inflammation can turn into chronic mobility issues that make it hard to return to work.
Under California Labor Code § 3600, workers can file claims for injuries that happen suddenly or develop over time, and our firm helps you understand how that applies to your situation.
