Hand And Knee Injuries Attorney In Tulsa Handling Workers’ Compensation Claims

Hand and knee injuries are among the most common and debilitating workplace injuries in Tulsa’s labor-intensive industries. These injuries can sideline you from your job and disrupt your life.

I can help. I’m Ray Lahann, a workers’ compensation lawyer with over 20 years of experience standing strong for injured and disabled workers. I devote my practice entirely to work injury and disability claims. I’ve helped hundreds of injured workers in industries like aviation, construction, manufacturing and health care. When you work with me, I will leverage my extensive knowledge of Oklahoma’s workers’ compensation system to fight for your rights at every step.

Common Types Of Hand And Knee Injuries

Hand and knee injuries can range from minor strains to serious, long-term conditions. Some of the most common injuries I see include:

Hand injuries:

  • Hand fractures from crush accidents or falls
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome from repetitive tasks
  • Tendonitis and other repetitive strain injuries
  • Lacerations, nerve damage and joint dislocations

Knee injuries:

  • Meniscus tears from twisting or impact
  • Sprains and strains from lifting or falling
  • Torn ligaments or cartilage, especially in high-impact jobs
  • Chronic pain from repetitive kneeling or climbing

These injuries may require surgery, physical therapy and extended time off work. Without proper legal support, you risk being undercompensated or denied benefits altogether.

Common Causes Of Hand And Knee Injuries At Work

In Tulsa, many of these injuries occur in physically demanding roles. Common causes include:

  • Repetitive tasks, especially in industries like manufacturing and aviation maintenance
  • Slips, trips and falls
  • Heavy lifting or awkward movements in warehousing
  • Equipment malfunctions or crush accidents
  • Prolonged kneeling or climbing

Whatever the cause of your work-related hand or knee injury, you can turn to me for knowledgeable guidance and skilled advocacy.

What Compensation Can You Get For A Hand Or Knee Injury At Work In Tulsa?

Depending on the severity of your injury, you may be entitled to:

  • Coverage for medical treatment and rehabilitation
  • Temporary or permanent disability benefits
  • Lost wages
  • Vocational retraining if you can’t return to your previous job

I can evaluate your claim and help you pursue the right types of workers’ compensation benefits.

How Long Do You Have To Report A Hand Or Knee Injury At Work In Oklahoma?

There is a presumption that a work injury must be reported to your manager or supervisor within 30 days of the incident. However, under Oklahoma law, you generally have a year from the date of your injury to file an official claim. The sooner you act, the stronger your claim will be. Delays, both in reporting to your workplace or in taking legal action, can result in a denial of your claim or a complete forfeiture of your right to compensation.
