  • Types of Workers’ Compensation Claims

    At Morgan & Morgan, our workers’ compensation attorneys often encounter cases having to do with:

    • Overexertion: Back injuries and pulled muscles in the workplace are common in construction, manufacturing, factory work, and other occupations where physical labor is required.
    • Slip-and-Fall Accidents: Slip-and-falls often take place on wet floors that have a spill or were recently cleaned.
    • Struck-by-Object Accidents: Objects fall off shelves, employees drop items, and projectiles are sent flying. Resulting injuries are common in office spaces, restaurants, retail, and construction, among other industries.
    • Falls: Falling may lead to severe injuries and require extensive time away from work.
    • Hazardous Materials: Protective clothing, gloves, and eyewear are mandatory for employees whose jobs require them to be around chemicals and other hazardous materials. Such exposure can lead to burns, skin infections, respiratory diseases, and other serious ailments.
    • Repetitive Motion Injuries: Carpal tunnel syndrome may occur when an employee is engaged in a repetitive motion such as typing. Data operators and other office employees may be subject to this type of injury.
