Work Related Injuries

Home » Work Related Injuries

Work-related injuries typically become workers compensation cases, but what’s considered a work-related injury? When an employer hires an employee, they hire them with the expectation for their health to maintain how it was when they hired them. If the employee’s medical status changes while carrying out a task for the employer, the employer is responsible. This can include new medical conditions or medical conditions that are made worse because of the employment conditions. A common misconception is that work for something to be considered a work-related injury the worker must occur on the employer’s property, but workers compensation states otherwise.
In workers compensation terms, an injury can include any of the following:

  • An incident in the workplace causing injury (fall, cut, etc.)
  • Repetitive actions on the job that cause medical conditions (carpal tunnel, tendonitis, etc.)
  • A pre-existing condition made worse by the work environment
  • A work injury that causes continued disability

Many career fields are prone to causing certain medical conditions to arise or get worse. If you’ve worked in that specific field for a specific number of years and the problem arises, it’s likely covered under a worker’s compensation case. If a disease arises that isn’t a well-known disease to that field of craft; it may still be covered under worker’s compensation if it meets the following criteria:

  • The employee was exposed to the disease at work
  • The disease is related to the workers industry
  • The disease has a higher rate of occurrence for employees in that industry than the general public

If your employee is suffering from a work-related injury or illness, it’s vital to determine all pre-existing conditions before treating that condition. Our staff is trained to rule out chronic pain and other symptoms that the employee had prior to employment, not made worse by the work environment, before beginning treatment. This process will speed up the recovery time, lower cost, and get your employee back to work as soon as possible. Once our staff locates the work injury or illness, a personalized treatment plan will be made based on goals set by the employee and employer. At the end of the treatment period, our staff will perform a functional capacity evaluation to determine if the employee is capable of returning to their job. If they can’t return to their normal position, it may be recommended that they go back on light or modified duty.

The best Therapy center in Miami! The staff is amazing and are extremely nice. The customer service is 10/10. Arley the... PTA is the great and his attention to the patients is like no other. Laura the front desk is so kind and is very attentive to the patients. No matter what you need she will help with any request. All the other staff including the other therapist are incredible. I 100% recommend this office. Do not waste your time finding another office!read more

This has been one of the worst experience I ever had with any service provider of any kind. People at this office hate... their job, starting with the main therapist that works in the morning. In several occasions I heard him cursing the fact he had to be there working in the morning. Then he would punish his patients by letting them sitting around waiting while he watched videos on his computer. I am returning from a new therapy office I had to go to complete my therapy and I just realized how poor of a service I was receiving at ortho now Doral. Do yourself a favor by spending a bit more time on research before choosing this place.read more

After two hand surgeries, OrthoNow is a Godsend. I had very limited movement in 2 fingers on my right hand. The “Double... A’s” (Angela and Amanda) have really been a light in this process. The care and concern that I’ve received has been great. It feels like a family. From the first appointment, Kristen has welcomed not only me but every patient that walks into the office by name. It means a lot that they show they care and you’re not just another person. Laura is the best and if you’re nice and tell her you know me, you just may end up with some of the best coffee on this side of the Palmetto! OrthoNow has really helped me on my road to recovery and restoring movement and flexibility to my hand. I’m happy to be family member now.read more

I am writing this review based on my last visit to the Orthonow office in Doral. I have visited this location numerous... times in the past, seeking medical attention and was always greeted with the upmost professionalism. This time the Physician Assistant on shift did not agree that I should be treated at all and directed me to contact another physician. At that moment I was in severe pain but understood that he had the right to refuse treatment. It would have been nice though if he had at least given me something for the pain. He did not agree with the treatment that I requested even though I received the same treatment at that location three times before. He instructed the person at the front desk to refund my copay and let me go.read more
