Repetitive Stress Injury Workers Comp NJ—Protecting Your Health, Securing Your Benefits
Not Sure if Your Ongoing Pain or Illness Is Covered by Workers’ Comp?
If you’ve developed carpal tunnel, tendonitis, back strain from lifting, or even a respiratory condition from workplace chemicals, you’re not alone—and your injury likely counts as work-related under NJ law. Many nurses, office workers, factory staff, and warehouse employees across New Jersey experience injuries that build up over months or years, not from a single accident. The Law Office of Albert J. Talone, LLC helps you prove your injury is job-related, fights for all your benefits, and ensures you aren’t left with medical bills. Even if your employer or insurer says it’s “just aging” or “not from work,” you have rights—and The Law Office Of Albert J. Talone knows how to make your case.
Types of Occupational & Repetitive Injuries We Handle
Repetitive Motion Injuries (Carpal Tunnel, Tendonitis)
Years of typing, scanning, or assembly line work can damage nerves and tendons. We’ve helped office workers, cashiers, and factory employees secure compensation for chronic wrist and hand pain.
Back and Lifting Injuries
Nurses, warehouse staff, and construction workers who lift, bend, or twist repeatedly often develop serious back pain or herniated discs. Our team documents every symptom and ties it to your job duties.
Hearing Loss & Respiratory Illness
Exposure to loud machinery or workplace chemicals can cause hearing problems or lung diseases over time. We’ve guided clients through complex occupational disease claims involving everything from solvent exposure to job-site dust.
Cumulative Trauma & Wear-and-Tear Injuries
Some conditions develop so gradually that workers doubt their claim is valid—arthritis, knee pain, or shoulder injuries included. Talone Law specializes in connecting these “invisible” injuries to your employment so you can get benefits.
Occupational Disease Cases
Illnesses like asthma, mesothelioma, or dermatitis may be traced to years of job site exposures. We know the legal standards and gather the right medical evidence for every claim.
Pitfalls That Can Delay or Deny Your Claim
Ignoring or dismissing mild pain or symptoms until they become severe—early documentation is critical for repetitive or occupational claims.
Waiting too long to tell your employer about your condition, thinking it “isn’t serious enough.”
Accepting an insurance company’s claim that your injury is pre-existing or unrelated to work without legal review.
Failing to see a doctor with workers’ comp experience who can properly connect your condition to your job duties.
Giving up if the first claim is denied—many valid claims succeed on appeal.
Steps to Take if You Suspect a Work-Related Injury
- Report as Soon as You Notice a Pattern: Don’t wait for a dramatic event. If your pain or symptoms appear over time, notify your employer and ask for medical evaluation.
- Document Your Job Duties and Tasks: Keep notes or records about work tasks that contribute to your injury, and share them with your lawyer.
- Consult the Right Medical Professionals: The Law Office Of Albert J. Talone works with a network of physicians who understand how to evaluate occupational and repetitive injuries.
- Prepare for Pushback: Employers or insurers may try to blame age or past injuries. We gather medical records and expert opinions to overcome these tactics.
- Unsure If You Qualify? Reach out for a free review—many workers don’t realize their injury or illness is covered until they ask.

Your Questions, Answered Clearly
Does workers’ comp cover repetitive strain injuries?
Yes. New Jersey law covers injuries that develop gradually, such as carpal tunnel, tendonitis, and back pain, if work tasks contributed to the condition.
What if my injury developed over years or at more than one job?
You may still have a claim. Workers’ comp can apply even if your current or most recent job only contributed part of the injury; we help gather all needed documentation.
How do I prove my injury or illness is work-related?
Documentation and medical evidence are key. The Law Office Of Albert J. Talone works with doctors who understand occupational injuries and can clearly link your condition to your job.
Do I have to prove work caused my injury 100%?

Who pays for my treatment if my claim is approved?
If your claim is accepted, the employer’s insurance covers all necessary medical care, therapy, and related expenses—you don’t pay out of pocket.
