Hip injuries can be very painful and can oftentimes mean significant time away from your job. 
Hip injuries at work can limit mobility and in addition to being painful injuries, they can also necessitate months of rehabilitation, physical therapy, and may even require surgery.
Depending on the severity of the injury, even with treatment hip injuries can leave you permanently disabled. In order to focus on the recovery process, if you are injured at work, it is important to receive the workers compensation benefits that you are entitled to. When you miss time from work due to a painful hip injury, and require medical treatment, making ends meet can be very stressful. Discussing your case with a workers compensation attorney can help to alleviate some of this stress and get the full benefits that you need in order to recover and get back to work.
Types of hip injuries:
- Hip fractures – Hip fractures can be caused by a traumatic incident like a fall or blow to the hip. Hip fractures may require surgery, rehabilitation, and can result in loss of mobility and pain.
- Hip strain – The most common types of hip strains are groin pulls and hamstring strains. A hip strain is usually caused by overuse. It results in a tear to the muscle fibers and can cause spasms and pain.
- Post-traumatic arthritis – Post-traumatic arthritis is caused by a traumatic injury to the joint like a fracture or fall. A repeated, penetrative, or blunt injury, can lead to damage of the hip cartilage and can cause significant pain.
- Hip labral tear – Repetitive actions or a trauma to the hip can cause a hip labral tear. The cartilage in the hip socket is called the labrum and a tear to the labrum can result in a catching sensation as well as pain.
- Burning thigh pain – If you experience burning thigh pain you may have Meralgia Paresthetica. This type of injury can be caused by repetitive actions or an injury to the hip. The pain is caused by a compression of the nerves in the thigh, which means a burning sensation, numbness, or tingling near the hip along the outer thigh.
Hip injuries can be very painful and can oftentimes mean significant time away from your job. Because different states have their own workers’ compensation systems and deal with workers comp issues in varying ways, contacting a workers compensation attorney in your state can help to shed light on your situation. Experienced workers compensation attorneys can get you the benefits you deserve or help you to reach a settlement you are comfortable with. In the event that you are unable to return to your job, it is important that you are not left with dealing with the financial burden of your injury all alone.
