In order to obtain a financial settlement for a hip injury, you must prove that the injury directly resulted from your working conditions. For example, if your job requires you to squat, lift heavy loads, twist or bend at the waist, climb stairs and ladders, or stoop down often, you can pursue compensation for a cumulative (gradual) hip injury.
On the other hand, if you are injured in a sudden event like a slip and fall at your workplace, you can also file a workers’ compensation claim.
Evidence is important when filing for workers’ compensation. For injuries sustained in an on-the-job accident, you should take pictures, get the contact information of witnesses, and write down everything you can remember about the incident.
If your injury was sustained over a gradual period of time, you can use your medical records in conjunction with your job description, employment records, and witness statements to support your argument.

Hip injuries may be caused by sudden and traumatic events, or by gradual overexertion. Pain, stiffness, swelling, and general discomfort in the thigh, groin, buttocks, or hip joint area are common symptoms. If you fall at work or experience gradually increasing pain in your hip, you should seek medical attention immediately.
There are 3 broad categories of hip injuries that workers commonly suffer:
Depending on the situation, workers may suffer hip injuries to the femur or pelvis bone. These include stress fractures that result from a sudden event or from gradual wear and tear. The hip joint may also become injured. Dislocation, subluxation (partial dislocation), acetabular labral tears (that cause injuries to the cartilage in the joint), and femoroacetabular impingement (bone spurs on the hip joint) may occur.
Furthermore, tendon tears and muscle strains of the hip flexor, adductor (groin), and hamstring are common hip injuries that workers experience. Depending on the cause and severity, injured employees may need to undergo extensive medical treatment. These include surgeries, physical therapy, and medication. If you have suffered a hip injury at work, our Louisville workers’ compensation attorney can provide the diligent representation you need.
