There are a wide range of common workplace injuries, including those listed below.
Amputation
A serious work accident that results in the loss of a limb is often one of the most devastating types of workers’ compensation claims. This can occur in car accidents or due to heavy machinery if you’re working in a factory, warehouse or construction site. Amputations may lead to permanent disabilities as well, which can give you a certain type of workers’ compensation benefit. A Kentucky workers’ compensation lawyer can be key in maximizing compensation for these serious injuries.
Back, Neck And Spinal Cord Injuries
These types of injuries can happen to workers in various industries. Heavy lifting in a warehouse or factory, severe whiplash in a car accident, pinched nerves and stress on the neck and spine can lead to these injuries developing over time. Many people don’t consider office work as something that will lead to work injuries, but long hours at a desk can cause neck injuries.
Ligament, Tendon And Muscle Injuries Caused By Repetitive Use
Repetitive motion or stress injuries are a result of doing the same motion over and over. Lifting heavy boxes, excessive typing for long hours, working in an assembly line and other types of work-related behaviors can develop a strain on your ligaments, tendons or muscles. These injuries can be painful and make it difficult to continue working as normal.
Serious Broken Bones Affecting Your Arms, Legs, Feet, Ankles Or Hips
Broken bones can happen in various ways, including in a work-related car accident, a fall from a construction ladder or scaffold, or slipping and falling in your workplace. Using heavy equipment or machinery may also lead to broken bones or fractures.
Illnesses And Injuries Caused By Toxic Chemical Exposure
Working in certain environments, such as construction, manufacturing, health care, and agriculture, may lead to exposure to toxic chemicals. This can cause serious injuries such as respiratory problems, chemical burns and organ damage.
Burns And Other Scarring Or Disfigurement
Burns are common in industries such as food service, manufacturing, electricity, construction, transportation and firefighting. There are different types of burn injuries, such as chemical burns, thermal burns and electrical burns. No matter what kind you’ve experienced, these are serious injuries that need immediate medical attention.
Loss Of Hearing Or Vision
Hearing loss can happen to workers in loud working environments such as construction, manufacturing and other production plants. Prolonged exposure to loud noises can harm your hearing over time. When it comes to vision loss, temporary or permanent blindness may occur due to chemical burns, lacerations, inflammation and other types of injuries.
Traumatic Brain Injuries And Other Head Injuries
Severe head trauma can happen in many ways, including an on-the-job car crash, a slip-and-fall mishap or any other damaging blow to the head. Traumatic brain injuries can have long-term consequences and require proper medical care and treatment.
Nerve Damage
Like other injuries, nerve damage is caused by common work accidents such as slips and falls, car accidents, chemical spills, burns or electrocution. They can be temporary or lead to permanent damage.
Any injury should be taken seriously after a workplace accident. These common injuries occur more often than you may realize, and it’s crucial to seek medical care as soon as possible so your injury doesn’t get worse.
