Types of Work Accidents

Types of Work Accidents Range from Repetitive Work to Falling Injuries

Employees suffer different types of work accidents every day, whether they are working in an office or on a ladder at an industrial or construction site.

Some types of work accidents include electrocution (a lineman may contact a utility wire) or a hospital injury (a medical worker may get pricked by a needle that was disposed of improperly). An employee using a company-owned vehicle may suffer an injury in an auto accident. Repetitive work injuries may result from tasks performed by meat cutters, mechanics or firefighters.

An accident may be covered by workers' compensation, but you may have the right to pursue a third-party claim if someone other than your employer was negligent. If you or a loved one has suffered a workplace injury, an attorney at Flager & Yockey, P.C. can help you determine how to proceed.

Burns or Chemical Exposure Types of Work Accidents May Qualify You for Compensation

It's important for you to understand that you do not have to be involved in a terrible accident to pursue compensation. You may suffer an injury at work from a burn, or due to an illness from chemical exposure, or carpal tunnel syndrome caused by repetitive stress. These are just a few types of work accidents.

Others include, but are not limited to:

  • Back injuries
  • Equipment accidents
  • Falling items (such as falling merchandise or engine parts falling on mechanics)
