Can I receive workers' compensation for a repetitive motion injury?

Yes. Georgia workers' compensation law covers injuries arising out of and in the course of employment, so repetitive motion injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, as well as other non-traumatic injuries and diseases can provide a legitimate basis for compensation. Indeed, repetitive stress injuries, occupational diseases, and occupational hearing loss are not uncommon and the courts have repeatedly held that these conditions are or can be compensable.
