In and around Alamogordo, many people don’t fit the “standard office vs. standard shop” mold. A single week might include hands-on duties (assembly, maintenance, warehousing, service work), computer tasks, and lots of driving—plus working through pain because overtime or staffing gaps are common.
That combination matters legally because repetitive injuries are often gradual and cumulative. The defense may argue your symptoms came from “general life” or pre-existing issues. Strong cases in New Mexico typically connect your medical findings to the specific tasks you performed and the periods when symptoms escalated.
