Workers’ compensation claims range from the fairly minor issues which require you to be out of work for a few days. Other injuries can be very serious and may disable a person for life or even result in a fatality. Here are some of the most common work-related injuries according to OSHA: Broken bones due to falls. Burns. Knee injuries such as dislocated knees or torn ACL. Shoulder injuries like rotator cuff tears or dislocated shoulders. Overexertion injuries which cause pulled muscles. Lung injuries from inhaling toxic fumes. Spinal cord injuries in the neck and back, and degenerative disc disease caused from years of repetitive movement. If you suffered any of these injuries on a construction site, a hospital, a school, at the supermarket or driving a truck you may be eligible for workers compensation benefits such as medical treatment, cost of travel to and from medical appointments, prescriptions, lost wages and lump sum payments.
