Sprains and Strains:

Workplace accidents involving tools, machinery, and other equipment can easily cause traumatic cuts, gashes, and puncture wounds. For workers regularly exposed to sharp objects, these injuries may happen frequently.

 

Broken Bones and Fractures: 

Fractures from falls, heavy equipment, workplace violence incidents, or accidents in high-risk jobs involving vehicles, heights, and heavy lifting are often eligible for occupational injury claims. The cause is usually obvious. Occupational Injury Claims cover these injuries.

 

Head, Neck, and Back Injuries: 

Chronic back pain and neck strain from improper lifting, repetitive motions, awkward postures, and falls plague many workers in physically demanding jobs. Head blows from falling objects or workplace assaults also result in claims.

 

Burns: 

Workers exposed to high heat, flames, corrosive chemicals, friction, steam, and electricity face high risks of burns. These can range from mild to severe life-threatening cases if proper safety measures aren't followed.

 

Loss of Limb or Disfigurement: 

Amputations caused by equipment, machine accidents, and electrical shocks are unfortunately common in industrial environments. Severe cuts and crushing injuries can also cause permanent scarring and disfigurement.

Illnesses like lung disease, cancer, and infections contracted due to chemical exposures or other work conditions over time often qualify for compensation. It includes respiratory problems from asbestos, hearing loss from excessive noise, and repetitive stress injuries.
