Common Workplace Injuries Covered Under Workers’ Compensation

Workplace injuries can vary greatly depending on your occupation. Common workplace injuries include:

Back and spinal injuries
When we lift heavy objects, experience slips and falls, or repeat certain movements, injuries can occur that may lead to ongoing challenges. These injuries often result in chronic pain and limited mobility, making it necessary for some people to seek continuous medical treatment or even surgeries.

Head injuries, including concussions and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
Such injuries can be life-altering, impacting cognitive functions, memory, motor skills, and emotional well-being.

Broken bones and fractures
Severe fractures usually mean surgery, a longer healing time, and some rehabilitation therapy. This can really take a toll, resulting in significant time off work and financial challenges.

Repetitive motion injuries (e.g., carpal tunnel syndrome)
Employees engaged in repetitive tasks or using machinery consistently may suffer from chronic pain and decreased functionality, necessitating medical intervention or job retraining.

Hearing loss or vision damage
Exposure to loud environments or hazardous materials can cause permanent damage to hearing and vision, significantly reducing quality of life and employability.

Burns and electrocution
Dealing with severe burns and electrical injuries can involve significant hospital stays, various surgeries, and ongoing medical support for healing and recovery.

Occupational illnesses, such as respiratory conditions and exposure-related illnesses:
Living with chronic illnesses due to exposure to toxic substances or work environments can be really challenging. These conditions often mean dealing with ongoing health concerns that may require treatment over a lifetime.
