Common Workplace Injuries Force Thousands To File For Workers’ Compensation

If you get hurt at work, you already know you will have your medical treatment covered by workers’ compensation. It’s important to know, however, that many injuries are common in the workplace. It’s better to be safe than sorry when it comes to taking precautions against accidents and injuries during the workday.

Technology and invention bring various occupations new, faster, and better equipment all the time. However, new isn’t always safe. If you got hurt at work, talk to a workers’ compensation and personal injury lawyer who stays up to date with these laws and who will know exactly how to proceed with your case.

• Construction accidents: Operating construction tools, machinery, and vehicles is inherently dangerous work. Forklift accidents are common, and other vehicles are prone to malfunctioning and tipping over; spills cause slip and fall accidents; faulty ladders and other poorly maintained equipment can cause devastating falls and injuries like those suffered in scaffolding accidents; factory equipment malfunctions and cuts and limb amputations are common; working with electrical wires and equipment can cause burns. Accidents further injure construction workers on jobs that involve driving on roadways all the time.
• Office accidents: Falls and slips cause broken bones and painful sprains; repetitive stress motions, such as typing on the computer, lead to incredibly painful conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome; sitting all day causes back pain and circulatory issues; heavy lifting, pushing and pulling cause shoulder, neck and back injuries.
• Police accidents: Some injuries are rather obvious. They include getting shot or otherwise injured while trying to arrest suspects and car accidents during chases or even in the normal course of the workday.
• Health care accidents: Medical facilities are dangerous places to work. In addition to exposure to disease, doctors, nurses and other health care facility employees come in contact with many people and situations that can cause severe back injury and other damage. Heavy lifting, slips and falls, needle sticks and patient violence are all threats to health care workers.

How to File a Workers’ Compensation Claim for a Workplace Injury 

If you have suffered a workplace injury, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation. The following is the basic process for filing for workers’ compensation benefits. 

• Notify your employer of the accident and your injuries as soon as possible after the accident. Failing to notify your employer will make it even more difficult to prove that your injuries are work-related. 
• Seek medical treatment. Be sure to ask your employer if they have a preferred doctor or if you can see your own doctor for treatment. 
• Your employer will report the accident with their insurance provider and initiate the process of recovering workers’ compensation.
