Tennessee Workers Comp Attorney Comments on Fork Lift Operator Back Injuries

Tennessee workers comp claims due to back injuries are common, although many people assume that such injuries come from falls or other accidents. Tennessee workers comp back injuries can be caused by everyday exposure to "whole body vibration".

Fork lift operators (among others) will experience whole body vibration from "dock shock" normal operations.  Dock shock occurs when the fork lift is driven across bumps and there is a transfer of forces that jar the operator and the spine. During a normal shift a Tennessee worker who operates a forklift may be exposed to "dock shock" dozens of times and have a Tennessee workers' compensation claim.
