Personal Injury Lawyer |\u00a0Top Worker’s Comp Injuries p.2<\/h2>\n

Personal Injury Lawyer\u00a0<\/a>| This is a continuation of today’s earlier post Top Worker’s Comp Injuries p.1<\/a><\/p>\n

6) Struck Against an Object<\/b><\/h5>\n

This injury occurs when an individual falls into something, or is physically forced into something such as a bookshelf, barricade, or other stationary object. Office workers and factory workers can easily become a victim of falling into something.<\/p>\n

7) Highway Incident<\/b><\/h5>\n

Especially in the cases of truck drivers, one of the top causes of injury is an accident while driving (for business purposes) on the roadway. This is also a common occurrence for traveling business representatives and police officers.<\/p>\n

8) Machinery Accidents<\/b><\/h5>\n

Machinery accidents are typically reported in cases where large, heavy machinery has injured a worker by crushing or mutilating. Most commonly seen in factories or construction workers, these accidents can have huge medical cost ramifications. Many states have enacted laws that require training for employees before allowing them to operate equipment, along with maintenance requirements for machinery to keep it in a safe working state. Keeping employees knowledgeable on equipment, along with keeping that equipment maintained are two important factors in protecting employees from injury.<\/p>\n

9) Repetitive Motion<\/b><\/h5>\n

A repetitive injury is hard to pin-point, but is harder to prove. These injuries stem from workers doing the same motions over and over. Some examples of repetitive motion injuries can include using a mouse, sitting, lifting boxes, and working on an assembly line. Medically speaking, common injuries from repetitive or cumulative motions are tendonitis, carpal tunnel, and bursitis.<\/p>\n

10) Workplace violence<\/b><\/h5>\n

According to preliminary data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, “375 workers were killed in shootings while on the job in 2012. Robbers were the assailants in 33 percent of the workplace homicides involving shootings in 2012, while coworkers accounted for 13 percent. There were two incidents in 2012 where at least 5 people were killed in workplace shootings; a total of 12 workers died in these two incidents. From 1992 to 2012, 140 government workers were shot and killed by a coworker while on the job.” While nobody expects violence in the workplace, it does happen.<\/p>\n

There are four positions that make up 20% of the total number of injuries: Police\/Security officers, Nursing Aides\/Orderlies\/Attendants, Janitors\/Cleaners, and Tractor-Trailer\/Heavy Truck drivers. Due to the high physical activity required by these positions, along with the exposure to dangerous situations, these jobs are considered some of the highest risk positions for injuries.<\/p>\n
