Types Of Common Workplace Injuries
Every industry/workplace is unique, but there are some types of injuries that are more common than others. At our firm, we have the skills to handle even the most unique, complex workers’ comp injury cases.
Our work injury lawyers handle many types of cases, including:
- Back and Neck Injuries: Back and neck injuries are prevalent in workplaces, often resulting from lifting heavy objects, repetitive motions, or poor ergonomics. These injuries can range from minor strains to severe spinal damage, leading to chronic pain and limited mobility.
- Burns & Electrocutions: Burns can occur due to exposure to flames, hot surfaces, chemicals, or electrical sources. Electrocutions happen when an individual comes into contact with a live electrical circuit. Both types of injuries can be severe, causing significant tissue damage, cardiac issues, or even death.
- Hand, Arm, and Wrist Injuries: These injuries are common in jobs requiring manual labor, repetitive tasks, or the use of machinery. They can include cuts, fractures, sprains, and conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome. Such injuries can severely impact an individual's ability to perform their job.
- Loss of a Limb: Amputations can occur in high-risk environments, especially where heavy machinery is used. This type of injury is devastating, leading to permanent disability and requiring significant rehabilitation and adjustment.
- Psychological Injuries: Workplace stress, harassment, traumatic events, or prolonged exposure to high-pressure environments can lead to psychological injuries. These may manifest as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or other mental health issues.
- Spinal Cord Injuries: Spinal cord injuries can result from falls, vehicle accidents, or being struck by heavy objects. These injuries can lead to partial or complete paralysis, necessitating long-term medical care and rehabilitation.
- Rotator Cuff Injuries: The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder. Injuries can occur due to repetitive overhead motions, heavy lifting, or trauma. These injuries can be painful and limit the range of motion in the shoulder.
- Work-Related Vehicle Accidents: Employees who drive as part of their job are at risk of vehicle accidents. These incidents can result in a range of injuries from minor whiplash to severe trauma, including head, neck, and spinal injuries.
- Brain & Head Injuries: Head injuries can occur from falls, being struck by objects, or vehicle accidents. They range from concussions to traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), which can have long-lasting effects on cognitive and motor functions.
