Common Types of Workplace Injuries
Heavy lifting and slip and fall accidents account for a large percentage of workplace injuries, but not all are the result of a single traumatic incident. Many workers who develop repetitive stress injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome and chronic back pain fail to recognize that the condition is grounds for an injury claim.
Additional examples of injuries in the workplace include:
- Muscle strains due to improper lifting, repetition, and microtasks
- Fractures or bone breaks due to collapsing structures, falling objects, or faulty machinery
- Exposure to chemicals in a hazardous area
- Burns from fires or explosions
If you have received an injury at work under any circumstances, whether in an accident or over a long period of time, then you may be able to recover compensation.
What to Do Following an Accident at Work
If you experienced an injury at your workplace due to your job duties, there are several steps to take so that your chances of receiving proper compensation are increased:
- First, inform your employer about the injury and see what benefits you are eligible for. There is generally a short amount of time that you are given to file an accident and receive workers compensation. Even if you feel the accident wasn't serious, report it anyways so that your employer takes new safety measures.
- Then, see your doctor for a complete medical evaluation. This will help identify any significant injury and give further proof of your claim. If necessary, go to the emergency room immediately. Second opinions are often covered under workers comp, so be sure to take advantage of this if you feel that your diagnosis was inaccurate.
- Take notes and document everything surrounding the injury. This includes all forms of communication ranging from your employer to your doctor. Be sure to follow up with your claim, as you are entitled to a copy of the workers comp filed by your employer.
- Give us a call for a consultation. We can recognize areas of opportunity that you may not. We are professionally trained to get the most out of your lawsuit.
Understanding Your Rights as an Injured Worker
At Problems? Pick Porter!™, we believe that knowledge is power. If you've been injured at work, it's crucial to understand your rights and the legal options available to you. Many employees are unaware of the full extent of their entitlements, which can lead to missed opportunities for compensation.
Here are some key rights you should know:
- Right to Medical Care: You are entitled to medical treatment for your workplace injuries, covered by your employer's workers' compensation insurance.
- Right to Report Your Injury: You have the right to report your injury without fear of retaliation. Employers are legally required to take your report seriously.
- Right to Compensation: If your injury has resulted in lost wages, you may be eligible for compensation during your recovery period.
- Right to Appeal: If your workers' compensation claim is denied, you have the right to appeal the decision and seek legal assistance.
Our experienced attorneys are dedicated to helping you navigate the complexities of workplace injury claims. We will work tirelessly to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
