Common Workplace Injuries
Under Florida’s workers’ compensation laws, an individual must sustain a physical injury or illness to qualify for benefits. These injuries can take many forms and vary in severity. What seems like a minor injury at the time can result in serious issues if not addressed immediately. That’s why it’s important to seek medical attention right away. Some common workplace injuries include:
- Slip and Falls
- Soft Tissue Injuries such as Strains and Sprains
- Burns
- Being Struck by Falling Objects
- Machine entanglement
- Loss of Limbs
- Repetitive Stress Injuries
- Traumatic Brain Injury
- Broken Bones
- Being Struck or Crushed by Vehicles or Heavy Equipment
- Electrocution
If you’ve sustained a workplace injury of any kind, it’s important to report the injury to your employer. Don’t wait to take action, as this can hurt your chances of receiving workers’ compensation benefits. If you’re unsure about the workers’ comp claims process or feel your rights are being violated, the attorneys at Felice Trial Attorneys can help.
Occupational Illnesses
A workers’ compensation claim can also be filed if you’ve developed an occupational disease. These are illnesses directly caused by your job and workplace. Many times these illnesses are a result of exposure to a harmful substance. Others develop after performing repetitive motions for long periods of time. To qualify for workers’ compensation benefits, the illness must be proven by a doctor or through medical testing. Some common examples of occupational illnesses include:
- Respiratory Diseases such as Mesothelioma or Tuberculosis
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Skin Cancer
- Lead Poisoning
- Neurological Disorders
Many occupational illnesses can lead to permanent disabilities that prevent you from being able to continue the line of work you were in. If this has happened to you, it’s important you hire a workers’ compensation attorney to help prove your illness was caused by conditions in your workplace.
