Lifting Injuries

Workers' Compensation Lawyers Serving Mississippi

There are many jobs that require workers to lift heavy objects regularly. This can easily lead to an on-the-job injury. Workers' compensation benefits help injured workers pay for medical treatment and provide partial wages while they are unable to return to their job. But employers and insurance companies often challenge these benefits. The experienced workers' compensation attorneys at Tabor Law Firm, P.A. fight for workers in Ridgeland, Jackson and beyond who have suffered lifting injuries.

A work-related lifting injury can happen at any type of job, in any work setting. Jobs that typically include frequent, heavy lifting include:

  • Construction workers
  • Movers
  • Warehouse workers
  • Factory workers
  • Delivery drivers
  • Stock clerks

    Lifting a heavy object just one time can cause a serious muscle sprain or strain. But other lifting injuries involve overexertion and can occur after a long period of frequent and heavy lifting. This can result in slipped or herniated discs in the back, as well as nerve damage or in some cases, small but painful bone fractures. Other overexertion injuries include arthritis and damage to muscles, ligaments and tendons.

    A Lifting Injury Can Have a Serious Impact on Your Life

    Lifting injuries can occur in the back, neck, shoulder or wrist. Treatment can vary, but may include surgery, therapy and medication. Resting the injured body part is also usually part of treatment, which means the worker will be unable to lift while recovering from the injury. This can leave a worker temporarily unable to work, resulting in lost income.

    Workers' compensation benefits pay for all reasonable and necessary medical treatment, as well as partial wages during recovery. But an employer may question the extent of the injury, or insist that the worker is well enough to return to work - even though the injury may not be fully healed.
