Some workplace injuries are not as a result of a specific traumatic event such as slip and fall.  The injuries could come by a very slow process over an extended period of time.  For example, repetitive typing on the computer over several years and months could let to strain on the ligaments, tendons and nerves around your hand and wrists.  This could eventually become very painful that you can no longer use the affected hand as you could if not for the pain.  The condition leading to the pain in your hand and wrist could qualify as a workplace injury which would trigger Workers Compensation benefits for your medical treatments, lost wages, and any other qualified losses.  It is possible that your employer or the Workers Compensation Insurance Carrier, and their healthcare providers may disagree with you as to the cause of the pain in your hand and wrist.  They may say that it was unrelated to your work for your employer which means that they will not provide Workers Compensation benefits for you.  If you work in an environment with constant loud noises but your employer did not provide you the proper equipment to protect your hearing.  Over several weeks, months or years you could lose some or all of your hearing abilities.   Your employer and its Workers Compensation may disagree with you as to the cause of your hearing loss therefore denying your Workers Compensation benefits.
