Your Houston-Based Repetitive Motion Injury Lawyer Lawyers

Repetitive motion injuries are some of the most common—and most misunderstood—workplace injuries in Texas. Unlike sudden accidents, these injuries develop over time as workers repeat the same movements day after day.

Whether you spend hours typing at a desk, lifting merchandise in a warehouse, scanning items at a checkout counter, or using tools on a construction site, repetitive strain can eventually cause serious pain, inflammation, and long-term damage. These injuries often disrupt a person’s ability to work, drive, sleep, or enjoy normal activities.

Because repetitive motion injuries build gradually, employers and insurance companies frequently dispute them. They may deny that the injury is work-related, blame preexisting conditions, or claim the worker’s pain is not severe enough for compensation.

Many workers are told to “push through it,” “rest for a few days,” or return before they have healed. Others struggle to get proper medical evaluations because their employer wants them to see a company doctor who minimizes symptoms. These tactics leave workers feeling frustrated, unheard, and worried about their future.

A Law Firm Dedicated to Helping Workers with Repetitive Motion Injuries

Repetitive motion injuries are often ignored or downplayed by employers because they lack the dramatic impact of sudden accidents.

But the truth is that these injuries can be just as debilitating—and sometimes even more permanent. Workers may experience chronic pain, nerve damage, loss of function, or long-term disability. Terry Bryant Accident & Injury Law is committed to helping these workers get the recognition and compensation they deserve.

We understand that repetitive motion injuries affect workers from every industry. Office employees may develop carpal tunnel syndrome.

Warehouse workers may suffer from tendonitis. Retail employees may experience shoulder, elbow, or back strain. Healthcare workers, construction workers, and industrial employees are especially vulnerable due to the demanding physical nature of their jobs.

Our firm takes these cases seriously. We work with orthopedic specialists, neurologists, physical therapists, and occupational experts to diagnose injuries clearly and explain how your job tasks caused the damage.

We document the progression of symptoms, gather workplace evidence, and counter employer claims that your injury is “not severe,” “not work-related,” or “just part of aging.”

When your body is suffering due to repeated strain at work, you deserve an advocate who understands your pain and is ready to fight for your recovery. Terry Bryant Accident & Injury Law stands with workers whose injuries are often ignored, misunderstood, or unfairly denied.

Experience Standing Up to Employers Who Deny Repetitive Injury Claims

Repetitive motion injuries are some of the most frequently denied workplace claims. Employers often try to avoid responsibility by arguing that:

  • The injury did not occur at work
  • The symptoms are mild or unrelated
  • The worker waited too long to report the issue
  • The worker has a preexisting medical condition
  • The injury is simply “part of getting older”
  • The employee was not performing repetitive tasks

These arguments can be discouraging, but they are not the final word. Terry Bryant Accident & Injury Law challenges each of these defenses with evidence and medical expertise.

We gather employment records, job duty descriptions, ergonomic assessments, and medical reports that connect your injury to your work conditions.

We also protect you from unfair tactics such as:

  • Pressure to return to work early
  • Requests for unnecessary recorded statements
  • Steering you to doctors who minimize your injuries
  • Delaying or denying diagnostic tests
  • Retaliation or reduced hours after injury reports

Our firm takes over communication with employers and insurance companies to prevent manipulation or intimidation. You deserve to be treated with respect—not suspicion—when you are injured.

Investigating Workplace Conditions That Cause Repetitive Motion Injuries

Repetitive motion injuries often occur due to unsafe or non-ergonomic workplace conditions. Employers may fail to provide proper equipment, adequate training, or safe working environments.

We investigate conditions such as:

  • Poor workstation design
  • Non-adjustable chairs or desks
  • Overhead lifting or constant reaching
  • Long hours without rest breaks
  • Repetitive scanning or typing
  • Vibrating tools or power equipment
  • Awkward body positioning
  • Insufficient staffing leading to rushed work
  • Lack of rotation between tasks
  • Excessive physical demands or quotas

We analyze job duties, workplace videos, safety policies, and ergonomic assessments to identify how your workplace contributed to your injury.

Repetitive motion injuries are preventable. When employers fail to prioritize workplace safety, our firm is prepared to hold them accountable.
