Common Types of Workplace Injuries
Workplace injuries are common across a wide range of industries. But it is important to be able to distinguish how you suffered your injury so that you can get the most out of your worker’s compensation claims. The team at Effective Integrative Healthcare treats a variety of workplace injuries. Some of the most common we see are from:
- Trips, Slips, and Falls – If you slip on wet office floors, trip over tangled computer cords, or fall due to poor lighting, you may suffer broken bones, sprains, cuts, or other injuries.
- Stress or Overexertion – Some of the most common workplace injuries are the result of repetitive motions that damage joints, muscles, or tendons.
- Heavy Machinery Accidents – In factories or on farms or construction sites, heavy machinery can cause significant injuries to workers.
What to Do After Suffering an Injury on the Job
There are several steps you should take following a workplace injury to guarantee you receive the compensation you deserve from your employer. If you are injured due to your employer’s negligence, you are entitled to benefits including medical coverage and more. The professionals at Effective Integrative Healthcare can help with your recovery, but it is incumbent upon you to take the necessary action to protect yourself. Following a workplace injury, you should:
- Report Your Injury Immediately – As soon as you suffer an injury, be sure to report it. Proper documentation will be paramount to filing a worker’s compensation claim.
- Understand Your Available Benefits – It is critical to understand the benefits available to you from your employer, so review them carefully.
- File an Appropriate Claim – Whether you need permanent or temporary disability benefits, file accordingly so that you can begin receiving treatment.
- Undergo an Independent Medical Exam – Your employer may require you to complete an independent medical exam before approving benefits.
- Seek Care from Effective Integrative Healthcare – Our clinics in Maryland have treated a wide array of workplace injuries, so you can trust our team to care for you.
