Common Causes Of Back Injuries At Work

Although there are many ways you can injure your back at work, generally, on-the-job injuries fall into three categories. The injury either builds over time due to repeated stress or it occurs from a single event, such as a fall. Common causes of back injuries include:

• Repetitive stress – Any action that requires you to repeat the same movements, especially twisting, can cause injuries that build over time. This could include bending and stooping, reaching and carrying things above the shoulders or carrying heavy objects.
• Force or impact – A single accident or event that puts a lot of pressure on your back can cause many types of injuries. This might include moving a heavy object, falling from a ladder or being in a car crash while on the job.
• Inactivity – Even a desk job can cause problems for your back. This is especially true if you sit all day or have a chair that lacks support.

What If My Job Is Making An Old Injury Worse?

If you have had your injury for some time, the insurance company may try to deny your claim. They may claim it was a preexisting condition, not caused by your job. Before you give up on your claim, you should know that how and when your injury occurred is irrelevant if your job is making that injury worse. You should always report your work injuries, no matter what the circumstances. If you have questions, call our office to discuss your situation for free.
