Grocery Store Employees Could Face Significant Injuries On the Job

workers compensation Glenwood Springs, Colorado

Are you a grocery store employee who suffered an injury on the job?

Are you worried you could have been exposed to COVID-19?

Did you lose wages due to a hospital stay?

The majority of injuries that take place in a grocery store are musculoskeletal disorders, like strains or sprains of the back because of lifting or repetitive motions. Some of the common musculoskeletal injuries that people suffer from include:

  • Trigger finger
  • Rotator cuff injuries
  • Tendinitis
  • Muscle strains and sprains
  • Epicondylitis
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome

Are you wondering if your injury qualifies you to file for worker’s compensation in Colorado, contact an experienced attorney in Colorado!

Your employer should be helping reduce the risk of injuries at the grocery store you work at. Employers should consider:

  • Force and the amount of effort required to perform a task
  • Awkward and static postures and positions that could lead to injuries
  • Contact stress, such as touching sharp objects
  • Repetition, such as performing the same movements throughout a shift

"Kaufman and Kaufman represented me in a workman’s comp case and I couldn’t be happier with their service. They were very professional and gave me the personal service I was relying on. I hope I never get in that kind of situation again but if I do the Kaufman’s would be the firm I’d call. I highly recommend them."

"Couldn't have asked for a more compassionate and thorough legal representation! Matt was so patient in taking the time to explain everything. The entire staff was incredible. I felt bolstered and validated throughout. I would recommend K&K to anyone going through a dark time with a debilitating injury.. they truly do care about their clients."

"The Kaufman team is very professional and knowledgeable about the work comp laws . They guided me in every step of the process, and if I ever have to do this again , they would be my first call.
