Upholding Your Rights After A Workplace Injury
In 2023 alone, the number of nonfatal workplace injuries exceeded 2.5 million in the United States. These are typically preventable injuries, often caused by someone else’s negligence or failure to act. If a company, boss, or co-worker fails to abide by proper safety standards, provide adequate training, or supervise a workplace appropriately, it can create an environment where workers are more susceptible to injuries. The most common types of injuries workers experience while on the clock include:- Falls, which can result in broken or fractured bones
- Sprains, strains, or tears from lifting heavy objects or slipping and falling
- Cuts and lacerations from working with sharp objects
- Burns resulting from dealing with hot substances or surfaces
