Common Reasons to File a Workplace Injury Claim 

In 2023, 90% of reports made to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) involved a workplace injury. Many employees are hurt in situations that could have been prevented if proper safety measures were in place. By recognizing some of the frequent causes of these accidents, you can identify if you might have a valid claim. Some of the most frequent reasons to file a workplace injury claim include: 

• Slip-and-fall accidents on slippery floors or uneven surfaces 

• Injuries caused by malfunctioning machinery or equipment 

• Repetitive stress injuries from long-term work tasks 

• Exposure to hazardous chemicals or toxic substances 

• Vehicle accidents occurring during work duties 

• Construction site accidents, including falls from heights 

For guidance tailored to your circumstances and support through every step of the process, a Covington workplace injury attorney from Scott Best Law can review the specifics of your situation to determine whether your injury qualifies for compensation under workplace injury laws. 

Compensation You Could Be Entitled To 

Understanding the different types of compensation you could be entitled to can make a significant difference in how you plan for your recovery. Depending on the circumstances of your case, you could be entitled to compensation for: 

• Current and future medical expenses 

• Lost wages 

• Reduced earning capacity 

• Rehabilitation and physical therapy costs 

• Physical pain and emotional suffering 

• Permanent disability benefits, if applicable 

The exact amount of compensation depends on the severity of your injury, the circumstances of your workplace accident, and your eligibility under workplace injury laws. At Scott Best Law, we can help you calculate your potential recovery so you get every last cent you’re owed.
