Most workers have either a Specific Injury or a Cumulative Trauma Injury. A specific injury is an injury that has a definite time and place of occurrence. An example of a specific injury would be if you fell off a ladder while on the job and broke your leg or if you lifted a heavy box while on the job and hurt your back. A Cumulative Trauma Injury Cumulative Injury is a type of work injury that arises from repetitive motion job tasks over an extended length of time. An example of a Cumulative trauma injury would be if a worker got carpal tunnel from typing over a period of time, or if a client's back or neck started to hurt due to repetitive lifting.
