Pompano Beach Repetitive Motion Injury Lawyers

Repetitive motion injuries are often invisible until they’re severe, but they can be just as debilitating as a sudden fall or heavy lift. For many workers in Pompano Beach, the daily motions of their jobs — whether typing, bending, lifting, or twisting — slowly wear down muscles, tendons, and joints. Over time, this repetitive strain can lead to conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, rotator cuff tears, bursitis, and chronic back or knee problems.

At The Law Offices of David M. Benenfeld, P.A., we understand how frustrating it is when a job you’ve done for years suddenly starts causing pain. We know you may feel exhausted from the discomfort and worried about missing work or losing income. That’s why our Pompano Beach repetitive motion injury lawyers are here to help, with a dedication to being accessible to our clients, answering your questions in plain language, and aggressively pursuing the benefits you deserve under Florida’s workers’ compensation law.

How Repetitive Motion Injuries Occur

Unlike a slip or fall, repetitive motion injuries build gradually. Workers might not notice the strain until pain interferes with work, sleep, or daily life. In Pompano Beach, these injuries often affect employees in industries such as:

• Healthcare, where nurses and caregivers repeatedly lift and move patients
• Retail and warehousing, where workers bend, lift, and reach for long periods
• Manufacturing, where assembly line tasks require repeated motion
• Office work, where computer and keyboard use can cause carpal tunnel or shoulder problems

Even jobs that seem low-risk can lead to serious cumulative trauma. Over months or years, these repetitive movements damage soft tissue, inflame joints, and sometimes cause permanent limitations. Without proper documentation and treatment, insurance companies may downplay the injury or argue it’s “pre-existing.”

Common Conditions and Symptoms

Repetitive motion injuries can manifest in many ways. Some of the most frequent conditions we see in Pompano Beach workers’ comp claims include:

1. Carpal tunnel syndrome – numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hands or wrists
2. Tendonitis – inflammation in the shoulder, elbow, or wrist from repeated motion
3. Rotator cuff injuries – chronic shoulder pain that limits lifting and overhead activity
4. Bursitis – inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs around joints
5. Lower back strain – often from repeated bending or lifting

Symptoms often start gradually: a dull ache that worsens over time, stiffness in the morning, or tingling in the fingers. Without prompt medical care and proper reporting to your employer, the condition can become permanent, making it difficult or impossible to perform physically demanding work.

Workers’ Compensation for Repetitive Motion Injuries

Florida workers’ compensation law recognizes cumulative trauma as a valid work-related injury. Benefits for repetitive motion injuries can include:

• Medical treatment — doctor visits, imaging, physical therapy, medications, and sometimes surgery
• Wage replacement — if the injury keeps you from working at full capacity
• Temporary or permanent disability benefits — depending on the severity and lasting impact
• Vocational rehabilitation — if your injury prevents you from returning to the same type of work

These benefits can be critical for workers in physically demanding jobs who might otherwise struggle to cover medical bills and living expenses.

The Challenges of Proving a Repetitive Motion Claim

Insurance companies often resist repetitive motion claims because the injury isn’t tied to a single incident. They may argue that your condition is due to aging, hobbies, or pre-existing conditions. That’s why having a lawyer experienced with cumulative trauma claims is so important.

We work with your doctors to document your condition, show how your job caused or worsened it, and submit evidence that clearly connects the injury to your workplace. This includes medical records, job descriptions, and testimony from supervisors or coworkers. With this preparation, we can fight back against insurance company tactics and ensure your claim is taken seriously.

Real-World Impact of Repetitive Stress Injuries

Repetitive motion injuries can significantly affect quality of life. Many workers tell us they experience constant or recurring pain that worsens with activity, difficulty performing normal work duties, emotional stress and anxiety about job security and finances, and challenges with everyday tasks, such as lifting groceries, typing, or climbing stairs.

Because these injuries often worsen over time, early action is crucial. Reporting the injury promptly and seeking legal advice helps ensure that you receive timely treatment and fair compensation.
