Workers Compensation

Workers’ compensation injuries are injuries that happen in the workplace or outside the workplace while performing work-related duties. Workers’ compensation injuries can also include any kind of injury or illness that develops in response to a workplace hazard, even if the condition doesn't happen to develop while working.

Workers’ compensation injuries are so-named because your employer's workers’ compensation insurance typically covers the cost of the care related to the injury.

Workplace injuries can vary based on the environment and circumstances. Some common examples of workplace injuries include strains, sprains, and fractures. These injuries can cause several problems, including:

- Shoulder pain
- Lower back pain
- Neck pain
- Joint pain

Workers’ compensation injuries can be quite painful and potentially even debilitating. That's why it's critical that you get help now before the injury has the chance to sideline you completely.
