Knowledgeable Workers' Compensation Attorney
Not all work-related injuries occur as a result of a single accident or incident. Sometimes, illnesses and diseases develop over a period of time. Whether you have suffered a repetitive stress injury, hearing loss or other occupational disease, you may be entitled to seek workers' compensation benefits.
My name is Mark S. Weinberger. I help injured workers fight for benefits, including medical bills, time away from work and disability payments. For 25 years, I have been representing clients through my office in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.
What Is an Occupational Disease?
An occupational disease develops gradually. Sometimes, employees may not even realize that a medical condition, such as a respiratory illness or repetitive stress injury, is caused by the workplace. For an illness to be classified as job-related, your work generally must put you at greater risk for the condition than the general public.
Medically diagnosed occupational diseases cover a variety of conditions, including:
- Repetitive stress disorders — these involve injuries resulting from repeated motions, including carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis
- Lung diseases — Exposure to toxic chemicals can cause a number of lung and breathing disorders
- Hearing loss — Prolonged exposure to loud sounds can cause irreversible hearing damage
If you believe you are suffering from an occupational disease, seek medical treatment immediately. Be sure to inform your doctor the injury is related to your job. Then, contact my office for a free initial consultation regarding your case.
Filing a Workers' Compensation Claim Can Protect You
Many injured workers fail to file workers' compensation claims, fearing employer retaliation. Instead, they let their medical coverage pay for their medical expenses. Unfortunately, these workers are not able to collect income during the time they are unable to work. To ensure you are receiving all available benefits, hire a skilled lawyer to protect you.
