Bending is a common movement in many workplaces. Unfortunately, it is also the cause of many work-related injuries. These injuries may occur after bending over and picking up one item or develop over time because of repeated bending. You can ask for workers’ compensation if you suffered an on-the-job bending injury.
In Buffalo and throughout western New York, injured workers turn to the lawyers and legal team at Sawers & Sackel. With more than 150 years of combined experience, we know the steps to take to get you the necessary benefits after suffering a bending injury at work.
Lower Back Injuries From Bending
Employers may fail to teach employees the proper way to lift heavy objects. Even if they do, they may also create an environment where an employee feels rushed. An employee may bend over to pick up an item in haste or bend to compensate for existing knee pain. Additionally, repeatedly bending and picking up even light objects can take a toll on the lower back, leading to pulled muscles or other injuries.
Lower back injuries are painful, and the healing process requires substantial time and care. Physical therapy may be necessary. Surgery may be required in the most serious cases. Workers ‘ compensation benefits should cover whatever is required to get better. Our attorneys use hard work to get you the benefits you need.
Other Injuries Caused by Bending
Bending over to pick up objects can also cause knee injuries, ACL tears, meniscal tears, shoulder damage, and other injuries. No matter the injury, we can help.
