Why do gradual injuries end up being some of the hardest workers' compensation claims to get approved in Georgia? Usually it comes down to the fact that there's no accident report to point to.
When an insurer can't find a date and an incident, it will often argue the condition has nothing to do with your job at all. That's why documentation matters more in these claims than in almost any other kind.
Conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, bursitis, and tennis elbow can all qualify under the Georgia Workers' Compensation Act. Proving they came from your job is the part that takes effort.
