On-the-job injuries are common. If you or someone you care about has been injured while on the job, whether it's a mild, severe or fatal injury at work, workers' compensation laws are in place to provide compensation for you.
Depending on the nature of the accident, it's also possible in some cases to file a personal injury lawsuit in conjunction with the workers' comp claim.
There are many common injuries that can happen on the job. Typical types of work injuries include:
* abrasions
* back and neck injuries
* brain injuries
* burns/scalds
* carpal tunnel syndrome (or other repetitive motion injuries)
* chemical exposures
* concussions
* crushed limbs
* fractures or broken bones
* hearing or vision loss
* loss of limbs
* muscle strains or spassms
* spinal cord injuries
* whiplash
