Five Common Types of Work Injuries

Work accidents can range in severity from minor to serious and may result in life changing injuries. A work injury can cause immense pain and may even lead to permanent disability. The time period following a serious work accident can be terrifying, as you worry about how you are going to pay the bills.

On-the-job accidents come in many forms, including construction accidents, scaffolding accidents, slip and falls and assaults. Many people who suffer work injuries have had their lives irreparably changed.

Some of the most common types of on-the-job injuries include:

• Back injury
• Neck injury
• Spinal cord injury
• Broken bones
• Head injury
  

Fortunately, many employees are covered under California workers compensation, which provides income benefits and paid medical treatment. When you are injured at work or if you develop a work-related illness, you can apply for workers comp. What is great about the workers compensation system is that it allows you to obtain your benefits quickly. Compensation includes medical benefits, lost income, permanent disability and vocational rehabilitation.

Obtaining workers compensation should be a straightforward process, but too often employers and their insurance companies make it difficult for employees. Sometimes even valid workers compensation claims are denied. If you find yourself in a situation where your workers comp claim was denied or if you are applying for the first time, you should contact an experienced Los Angeles workers compensation lawyer who will be able to help you obtain the benefits you deserve.

Your work accident could have been caused by a third party, which means you could have a workers compensation case and a third party claim. For more information, contact one of our Los Angeles accident attorneys.
