Types of Work Injuries

When pursuing a claim for work-related injuries or illnesses, it’s important to understand the various types of injuries and how they might impact your life. At our law firm in Pleasant Grove, Utah, we handle a wide range of cases:

• Head Injuries. These can range from mild concussions to severe traumatic brain injuries. They often result from falls, collisions with objects, or vehicle accidents in the work place.
• Back Injuries. Heavy lifting, falls, or awkward movements at work can lead to sprains, strains, herniated disks, or other severe back issues that can limit mobility and cause chronic pain.
• Broken Bones. From simple fractures to compound breaks, such injuries can result from falls, machinery accidents, or other work-related mishaps.
• Repetitive Stress Injuries. These injuries occur over time due to repetitive motions or positions, often affecting the hands, wrists, elbows, or shoulders.
• Burn Injuries. These can occur in various work environments due to exposure to heat, chemicals, electricity, or radiation.
• Sprains and Strains. Often a result of manual labor or upon slipping and falling, these types of work injuries can affect joints like the ankles, wrists, or knees. Rapid overextension can cause significant pain and limit normal movement.
• Electrical Injuries. These can involve burns, nerve damage, or cardiac issues as a result of exposure to electrical equipment or live wires.
• Crushing Injuries. Often from machinery accidents, these can cause severe trauma and chronic pain.
• Lacerations. Accidents involving sharp objects or machinery can result in deep and severe cuts.
• Work-Related Illnesses. These encompass a broad range of conditions from hearing loss to respiratory issues, often due to exposure to harmful substances in the workplace.
