Workplace injuries can occur at any time, even in your typical office, according to -. Here are the most commonly seen injuries in work accidents that occur daily across the country.

Injuries Caused by Overexertion

This is by far the most common type of injury seen in the workplace. Workplace activities that require pushing, pulling, lifting, holding, and carrying can cause tears or breaks in the muscle or bone, resulting in injuries that can range from minor sprains to more severe cases that require weeks and months of healing and rehabilitation. Repetitive strain injuries can also arise especially when the worker does not use protective gear to help prevent or minimize the strain or injury.

Slips-and-Falls

Injuries arising from slips and falls are the leading causes of workers compensation claims. Slips and falls can happen in any type of work environment, from the typical office to factories and construction sites. These injuries could be caused by slippery floors, tripping over exposed wires and cords, and walking or standing on unstable surfaces. The nature of injuries caused by slips and falls can range from minor ones, such as scrapes and bruises, to severe and potentially-life threatening traumas, such as broken bones, spine, and head injuries.

Workplace accidents occur every day, in every type of work environment. Fortunately, the law provides protections for workers who suffer injuries from workplace accidents to ensure that they are given the compensation and benefits they need to stay afloat during this time. Workers are also entitled to compensation for working time lost due to the injury, especially if the injury renders them unable to work during and even after the recovery period.
