What Are Common Work Injuries?

Workers’ compensation cases can cover a wide range of accidents and injuries. Some of the most common are included below:

  • Car and truck accidents are the leading causes of work-related death. Delivery drivers and those who operate heavy machinery and equipment are especially at risk.
  • Sprains and strains resulting from falls or overexertion.
  • Cancers and other illnesses caused by exposure to dangerous substances or chemicals.
  • Burns from fires, explosions, equipment, frostbite, or chemicals.
  • Respiratory illnesses from unsafe or unsanitary work conditions.
  • Failure to abide by safety regulations, or failure to provide proper training.
  • Equipment failure due to a flaw in the design or improper maintenance.

What to Do After a Work Accident

When an injury occurs in the workplace, it's important to take action quickly. Medical needs should immediately be assessed. If injuries are serious, call 911 and follow your medical provider’s instructions.

No matter the severity of the injury, the employee or employee's advocate should immediately begin collecting all related facts and information; any witness should be interviewed to avoid any details fading from memory, and the company should be informed in writing that an injury occurred on the job.

Send an email or letter to your employer as soon as possible stating:

  • When and where the accident occurred
  • How the accident happened
  • Details regarding injuries you sustained and their effects

Make sure to keep a copy of this and other relevant documentation—including medical bills and receipts—in a safe place. These materials are invaluable to your workers’ comp claim.
