Cumulative Trauma Injuries & Illnesses
What Is Cumulative Trauma & How Can a Sacramento Lawyer Help?
While many believe that injuries which can qualify them for workers' compensation benefits only involve one-time incidents, this is simply not the case. The fact of the matter is that many people suffer from cumulative trauma injuries as well. These types of injuries occur when certain physical motions, lifting, work, or even exposure to harmful substances produce wear and tear on the body over time, eventually leading to an injury or illness.
At Smolich and Smolich, we are here to tell you that your cumulative injury or illness claim is just as valid as any other. For more than 40 years, our lawyers have been helping clients in the Sacramento area get the full and fair workers' compensation benefits that they are entitled to.

Some examples of situations that can lead to cumulative trauma injury or illness include:
- Repeated motions, especially those related to high production requirements, such as typing
- Frequent lifting of heavy materials
- Exposure to toxic or harmful substances over a period of time
- Insufficient amount of rest time between tasks
- Frequent bending, twisting, reaching, or other forms of awkward movements
