Does an injury have to be the result of a specific work-related accident to be covered by workers compensation?
No. If you sustain an injury like carpal tunnel syndrome as a result of continued use or misuse, workers’ compensation can cover the cost of the injury or any lost work. However, proving that your injuries are the direct result of your employment may be difficult. If you would like to receive workers’ compensation, contact an experienced workers’ compensation lawyer as soon as possible.
