Common Causes of Workplace Injuries 

In 2023, 90% of all reports made to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) involved a workplace injury. Workplace injuries can happen in any job, and they often occur when safety precautions are overlooked. Understanding the common causes of these injuries is the first step toward figuring out if a third party might share liability in your workplace injury claim, and some of those common causes include: 

• Slips, trips, and falls due to wet floors or uneven surfaces 

• Repetitive stress injuries from prolonged tasks or poor ergonomics 

• Machinery or equipment accidents caused by improper safety measures 

• Exposure to harmful chemicals or hazardous substances 

• Vehicle accidents, especially for delivery or transportation employees 

If you’ve suffered a workplace injury, it’s important to act quickly and carefully document what happened. The experienced team at Scott Best Law can guide you through the claims process, investigate the cause of your injury, and advocate for the recompense you deserve. 

Compensation You Could Be Entitled To 

When you’re injured on the job, workers’ compensation benefits can help cover the costs associated with your injury. These benefits are designed to provide financial support while you recover, no matter who was at fault. Some types of workers’ compensation benefits include: 

• Medical expenses for doctor visits, hospital stays, surgeries, medications, and rehabilitation 

• Partial replacement of your income if your injury prevents you from working 

• Temporary or permanent disability support if your injury temporarily or permanently limits your ability to perform your job 

• Vocational rehabilitation, which helps you retrain for a new job if you can’t return to your previous position 

• Death benefits for surviving family members if a workplace injury results in a fatality 

Sometimes, a workplace injury can involve a negligent third party, like a subcontractor, a manufacturer of defective equipment, or unsafe conditions on the job site. While workers’ compensation covers injuries caused by your employer, a third-party workplace injury claim can help you recover additional compensation. 

At Scott Best Law, our team helps injured workers navigate the system and maximize their compensation.
