Workers’ compensation is a benefit provided to employees who sustain injuries while performing work-related tasks. Many people working on the front lines—including nurses, doctors and construction workers—are high at risk for injuries. However, as many people transition from working at the office to working from home, they are still susceptible to injuries. Tele-commuting can lead to common injuries, such as:

Carpel Tunnel Syndrome
Overextension
Back Injuries
Pinched Nerves
Eye Strain

Make sure to document your injury with photographs, medical records, and a detailed description of the incident. Contact us to learn more about your rights and to get experienced legal care.
