Occupational Diseases & Injuries

Virginia Occupational Disease Attorney

Certain jobs can cause negative health effects that do not become apparent for years. Often referred to as occupational diseases, these work-related illnesses have effects that are just as devastating as any immediate physical injury.

At MordhorstLaw.com, founding attorney Robert A. Mordhorst has more than 22 years of legal experience and a strong record of successful results in these cases. We represent only injured people, and we handle workers' compensation claims throughout the entire Northern Virginia region.

Common Diseases and Injuries

The majority of occupational injury cases we handle involve injuries that affect hearing and eye sight, as well as carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have suffered any of these injuries or conditions, contact our law offices:

• Hearing loss — Workers in certain industries are at risk for hearing loss from long-term exposure to loud noises, or one-time exposure to a loud explosion or other loud noise.
• Eye injuries — Objects entering the eye, chemical exposure, trauma to the head, and other conditions can lead to vision loss or blindness. The loss of an eye is also covered under workers' comp.
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome — Workers that spend their days typing are at risk for this repetitive stress injury. We can help you determine if your injury is compensable.

Workers' Compensation Benefits

Our firm can help you to receive the benefits you are entitled to for medical bills, disability, wage losses, retraining, and other needs. In addition, if your disease was caused by the negligence of another or you have been left unable to return to work at all, our firm can assist you with both Social Security Disability and personal injury claims.
