Common Types of Workers’ Compensation Claims

At E&L, LLP, we frequently handle cases involving the following types of workplace injuries and claims:

    • Overexertion:
      Back injuries, pulled muscles, and other overexertion injuries are common in physically demanding industries like construction, manufacturing, and factory work.
  • Slip-and-Fall Accidents:
    Slippery surfaces caused by spills or freshly cleaned floors often result in slip-and-fall injuries, which are common in restaurants, offices, retail spaces, and industrial environments.
    • Struck-by-Object Accidents:
      Falling objects from shelves, dropped items, or flying projectiles can cause serious injuries. These incidents are particularly common in office spaces, retail stores, construction sites, and warehouses.
    • Falls from Heights:
      Employees who work on ladders, scaffolding, or elevated platforms are at risk of falls, which can lead to severe injuries requiring extensive recovery time.
  • Hazardous Material Exposure:
    Workers exposed to chemicals or toxic substances without adequate protective gear (such as gloves, eyewear, and clothing) may suffer burns, respiratory illnesses, skin infections, or other serious conditions.
  • Repetitive Motion Injuries:
    Repeated movements, such as typing or operating machinery, can lead to conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome. These injuries often affect office workers, data entry specialists, and assembly line employees.

What’s Covered by Workers’ Compensation Claims

No matter the type of workplace injury or illness, filing a workers’ compensation claim may allow you to recover:

    • Medical Expenses:
      Coverage typically includes hospital visits, emergency care, doctor’s appointments, medications, and necessary medical equipment.
    • Temporary or Permanent Disability Benefits:
      Compensation for lost wages due to temporary or permanent inability to work.
  • Rehabilitation Costs:
    Includes physical therapy, occupational therapy, or other treatments required for recovery.
  • Death Benefits:
    In the unfortunate event of a work-related death, financially dependent family members may be eligible for compensation, including funeral and burial costs.
