Tendonitis
A tendon is the end part of a muscle that attaches the muscle to the bone. The normally very elastic and soft muscle tapers off at the end to form the much denser and stiff tendon. While this density makes the tendons stronger, the lack of elasticity of the tendon and the constant pulling on its attachment to the bone with movement, makes it much more susceptible to a low level of tearing at a microscopic level. This tearing will produce the inflammation and irritation known as tendonitis.
Tendonitis is usually seen after excessive repetitive movement with which the tendon gradually becomes tighter until the fibers start to tear. For this reason, tendonitis is a common work place injury; especially for worker’s that have repetitive motion in their daily job duties. Workers with tasks such as constant lifting, pushing, pulling, squatting, etc. may overuse their muscles, which would lead to the development of tendonitis. The most common tendon areas that become inflamed are the elbow, wrist, biceps, shoulder leg, knee, ankle, hip, and Achilles.

How do we charge?
Our office will not charge for a consultation. If you decide to hire us, we charge no fee up front. Our attorney fee is set by Indiana law and Indiana law limits our fee to 20% of any recovery up to $50,000.00. For recoveries above $50,000.00, our fee is limited to 15% of any monies recovered above $50,000.00. With limited exceptions, we also will collect our out-of-pocket expenses from the recovery and not from you. If you hire us with an offer already given to you, we will typically agree not to charge an attorney fee unless we recover additional money. For example, if you hire us with an offer already of $5,000.00 and 3 months later we tell you we can only get you $5,000.00, we will typically not charge you. We will discuss this in more detail at the initial meeting and put our agreement in writing.
