GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo. - eTradeWire -- Wondering if you qualify for workers' comp because you're a remote employee?

The attorneys at Kaufman and Kaufman say that remote workers qualify for the same benefits that in-office workers receive. However, these cases are usually more difficult to prove.

Some of the common remote worker cases that have been proven to build a case are the following:

• Repetitive Strain Injuries: Typing and other repetitive motions can often cause carpal tunnel or other muscle strain injuries.
• Slips and Falls: Tripping over wires or office equipment in your home can result in injuries like sprains, fractures, or concussions.
• Ergonomic Injuries: Working from your couch or kitchen table can create ergonomic injuries like neck and back pain, which could lead to a claim.

How to Prove Your Case

• Have Set Work Hours: Sticking to a regular schedule can help show that your injury occurred during your set work hours.
• Seek Medical Attention: Reporting the injury immediately and documenting it with emails, photos, and medical records can all help support your case.
• Create a Designated Workspace: Having a designated workspace in your home can also help prove that your remote injury was work-related.
