Common Types Of Workplace Injuries
Generally speaking, there are two types of work-related injuries: traumatic injuries and cumulative injuries/illnesses. Traumatic injuries are typically the result of an accident or other workplace incident, and they affect a specific area of the body.
Cumulative injuries/illnesses, on the other hand, develop over a longer period of time. Workers who sustain traumatic injuries and those who suffer cumulative injuries are afforded the same rights and opportunities under workers’ compensation laws.
Examples of traumatic workplace injuries include:
- Severe burns
- Broken or crushed bones
- Brain injuries
- Back and neck injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Paralysis
- Slip-and-fall injuries
- Accidental amputation
- Penetrating injuries
- Heart attacks/strokes
- Muscle tears/strains
- Knee and elbow injuries
- Crush injuries
- Injuries caused by falling objects
- Electrocution
Examples of cumulative workplace injuries/illnesses include:
- Carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive motion injuries
- Mesothelioma caused by asbestos exposure
- Arthritis
- Loss of eyesight
- Loss of hearing
- Back and shoulder injuries due to overuse
- Joint inflammation (bursitis)
Whether you suffered a catastrophic injury in a construction accident or truck crash, or if you are an office worker who sustained debilitating joint pain or developed cancer due to job-related conditions, you have the right to seek just and reasonable compensation.
