What Qualifies As A Workplace Injury?

One of the main goals of the Employee Injury Law Center is to help employees with workplace injuries. One of the major reasons for this is that employers often deny workers' compensation claims and refuse to pay the workers' medical bills and other expenses related to their injuries. There are many other reasons that may be preventing workers from getting the medical treatment and financial assistance that they need. This article will provide you with a general overview of workplace injuries and the types of workplace injuries that are eligible for workers' compensation benefits.

The first step in obtaining workers' compensation benefits is to make sure that you have a workplace injury. In order to qualify for workers' compensation benefits, your injury must occur while you are employed by a company. This means that you must be working at your job when you are injured. If you are injured while performing non-work activities on your employer's premises, you do not qualify for workers' compensation benefits. If you are injured while doing your normal job duties at your workplace, you should make a workers' compensation claim.

Employers may try to deny a workers' compensation claim by arguing that the injury occurred outside of the workplace, at home or in another location. If you are not hurt at work, it is likely that you will not be able to receive workers' compensation benefits.

Workplace injuries can include anything that causes harm or discomfort to your body.

Common types of workplace injuries include:

• Back injuries. These injuries are common, especially among people who spend a lot of time sitting. Back injuries can be caused by an accident at work or by repetitive strain on the same part of the body.

• Neck injuries. These types of injuries can happen when you are hit in the neck. A hard blow to the head may also cause neck injuries.

• Head injuries. These injuries can result from car accidents, work-related accidents, and sporting activities.

• Shoulder injuries. These types of injuries may occur due to accidents at work or at home.

• Injuries to the hand. These injuries can result from accidents at work or at home.

• Eye injuries. These injuries may be caused by car accidents, work-related accidents, or sports activities.

• Leg injuries. These injuries can be caused by accidents at work or at home.

• Wrist injuries. These types of injuries can result from accidents at work or at home.

• Arm injuries. These injuries can result from car accidents, work-related accidents, or sports activities.

• Knee injuries. These injuries can result from car accidents, work-related accidents, or sports activities.

• Hip injuries. These injuries can result from car accidents, work-related accidents, or sports activities.

• Foot injuries. These injuries can result from car accidents, work-related accidents, or sports activities.

You should also be aware that you may not be eligible for workers' compensation benefits if you were working for a small business. For more information about this, please check out the Small Business Administration's website.

Workplace injuries that occur at a specific location are called "traveler's injuries." These injuries may occur due to car accidents, work-related accidents, or sports activities.

When you are injured at work, you may be eligible for workers' compensation benefits. Workers' compensation benefits are designed to help injured workers and their families recover from their injuries. Workers' compensation benefits are based on the amount of time that you are unable to work. Your employer is required to pay your benefits for a certain number of weeks after you have been injured.

Your benefits will include:

• Medical expenses. You will be able to receive medical treatment and hospitalization if you are injured at work.

• Rehabilitation expenses. You will be able to get medical treatment and rehabilitation services to help you recover from your injuries.

• Permanent partial disability. If you are unable to return to the same kind of work that you did before you were injured, your benefits will include a permanent partial disability benefit.

• Death benefits. You may also be eligible for death benefits if you are killed while performing your job duties.

If you are injured at work and your employer refuses to pay you for your injuries, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit against your employer. In addition to any other damages that you may be entitled to, you may be able to recover workers' compensation benefits.

If you are injured at work, you should contact a workers' compensation lawyer to determine if you are eligible for benefits.
