Workers' Comp Accident Attorney Serving Houston
Types of Workers' Comp Accidents
Texas law provides for employees who suffer a work related accident to be able to file a workers' compensation claim that will cover their injuries by providing income and medical benefits. There are numerous types of workers' compensation accidents that can occur in any type of work environment. Some of the types of common work related accidents include:
- Falls
- Forklift Accidents
- Electrical shock accident
- Construction Site Accidents
- Slip and Fall
- Auto Accident
- Machinery Accidents
If you have suffered an injury as a result of your employment, it would likely be covered by workers' compensation laws. Some injuries are not specifically caused by a single incident, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, which is a repetitive trauma caused over a period of time. Work environment conditions can also lead to an injury, such as asbestos poisoning resulting in mesothelioma.
Typical work related injuries resulting from work related accidents include:
- Neck, back, and knee injuries
- Work-related stress
- Sexual harassment
- Eye injuries
- Burns
- Disfigurement and scarring of face, neck or hands
