DuPage County Office Worker Injuries Attorney

Skilled Representation for Office Worker Injury Cases in Illinois

Office workers are at a greater risk of workplace injuries than most people realize. Though their jobs are not as physically demanding as those of construction workers, warehouse and factory workers, or even healthcare workers, sitting at a desk for extended periods of time can still be very stressful. If you have suffered an injury in an office environment, you may be eligible to file a workers' compensation claim. This process can be difficult to navigate, however, and it is helpful to speak with a skilled workers' compensation attorney with particular experience handling office worker injury claims.

Common Types of Office Worker Injuries in Illinois

Working at a desk, especially on a computer for several hours at a time, can pose several health risks. These include:

• Neck and back or arm and shoulder injuries from remaining in the same position for long periods of time;
• Carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive stress injuries;
• Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs);
• Headaches and eye strain from staring at a computer for several hours at a time; and
• Injuries related to stress, such as heart attacks and strokes.

Companies are becoming increasingly aware of the risks of office worker injuries. In recent years, many have designed office environments with an emphasis on ergonomics. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has also set ergonomic standards to help foster a healthier and safer work environment. Companies that do not comply with OSHA standards create a greater risk of injuries in their workplace.
