Tennessee Workers Compensation Covers Rotator Cuff Tears

Tennessee workers compensation covers on the job injuries, all kinds. For Tennessee workers who frequently have to use their upper bodies, a rotator cuff tear can occur and take them off the job.

The symptoms of rotator cuff injury include weakness in the arm that is involved, pain, and restriction in movement. The first impression you might have is that you "pulled something" and while that is possible if you symptoms don't go away in a short period of time, you need to see a doctor. Rotator cuff tears can start small, and over time become worse requiring surgery and affecting your ability to work. If your doctor says that you have a permanent impairment, you may have a valid Tennessee workers' compensation case.

Tennessee workers' compensation claims require that notice be given to the employer, so when you are working and start experiencing symptoms make sure you report those symptoms to your employer.
