(4) Tendinitis
(5) Ganglion cysts

Because these injuries develop slowly, many workers make the mistake of waiting to see a doctor until their injury has become so severe that they can no longer work. Sometimes, people do not contact a lawyer until they have left their company. By then, it may be too late to make a workers’ compensation claim.
