Falling Object Injuries

An employee may face many hazards on a daily basis, but few are as common and dangerous as falling object injuries. Workers from any field can sustain these injuries, even though only certain types of construction and manufacturing workers are generally required to wear hard hats. These injuries can cause damage to the head and neck, potentially leaving permanent disabilities for injured workers.

Employers should work to protect their employees from workplace hazards such as falling objects. If they fail in this duty to you, they may be held responsible. To discuss your claim options if you have been injured because of a falling object, contact the New Jersey workers’ compensation attorneys of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., by calling 1-888-389-COMP today.

Consequences of Falling Object Injuries

A person who is hit by a falling object at work may experience a variety of problems associated with their injury. Unfortunately, as most falling object accidents involving a head or neck injury, the resulting problems can prove permanently debilitating.

The following health concerns may arise due to falling object injuries:

  • Motor disorders
  • Mental disorders
  • Language disorders
  • Loss of feeling
  • Loss of bowel or bladder control

An injured employee may need compensation provided by their employer to cover the high medical costs of these treatments. Additionally, this compensation can make up for the worker’s lost wages during recovery.
