Do My Injuries Qualify for Compensation?

Many people are injured in the workplace each year, but are unsure whether they have grounds to file for workers’ compensation or not. In some cases, these injuries may not have incurred any medical costs and did not require any time off of work to recover from. In these cases, a person may not qualify for help. However, if an injury required an individual to seek medical assistance, they may be able to seek benefits.

If you have been hurt at work, you may be entitled to pursue workers’ compensation. To learn more your rights and for assistance with the filing of your claim, contact the New Jersey workers’ compensation lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., at 888-389-COMP today.

Common Causes for Workers’ Compensation Claims

An individual’s right to benefits does not have anything to do with the severity of an injury or illness. Rather, if he or she must seek medical attention or miss work time due to an occupational accident or other work-related cause, then workers’ compensation is likely available. The following are some common causes for worker’s comp claims.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Common in career fields when the wrists are locked into a particular position or are exerted in a particular way, carpal tunnel syndrome results in nerve pain to the wrists and hands. A person may not be able to complete their daily tasks until they recover, which may allow that person to file for compensation if the injury was work-related.

Injuries from Vehicle Accidents

Work-related transportation accidents are among the most common causes of occupational injury. If a worker is completing a task for their job while involved in a motor vehicle accident, they may claim their rights to compensation when injured.

Eye and Back Strain in the Office

Many office workers are not under the same sort of threats of physical harm as other laborers. However, that does not mean that they cannot sustain injuries or develop problematic conditions because of their workplace environments. If a worker’s eyes are damaged by staring at a computer screen for too long due to work demands, or if an employee hurts his or her back due to prolonged sitting, they may have a claim for treatment when the injury becomes serious enough to warrant medical attention.
