Common Workplace Injuries
If your work accident is severe, you want a lawyer.
Work injuries happen when you least expect them, often when you’re doing a task you’ve been doing on the job for years. That solvent you use every day may spill, causing you to suffer an acute headache and dizziness. After many years working as a contractor, with no prior construction site injuries, you may lose your balance and fall off a ladder, resulting in broken bones. The delivery truck that you drive every day may get rear-ended while you are turning to the warehouse, causing you severe neck injury. Here are the most common workplace injuries:
- Construction Accident
- Exposure (Chemical or Fumes)
- Fall from Heights
- Fatal Workplace Injury
- Hospital Workplace Injury
- Lifting Injury
- Machinery Accident
- Repetitive Stress
- Slip and Fall
- Vision or Hearing Loss
