Tennis elbow is an elbow injury caused by overuse and repetitive elbow motions. It causes pain, soreness, and inflammation along the outer side of the elbow. If left untreated, tennis elbow frequently results in limited elbow motions and the degeneration of the structures found in the area. Tennis elbow is named as such because tennis players are most susceptible to developing this type of elbow injury. In addition to tennis and other sports, specific jobs have a high risk of developing this type of injury. These jobs include construction workers, assembly line workers, food and packing workers, and cashiers.  If you work in these industries and are suffering from elbow pain, you may be able to seek compensation for your elbow injury.
