Common Injuries In The Health Care Industry
The health care workers that help us get better from illness and injury often suffer harm themselves while working. Here are some common issues:
- Back injuries
- Neck injuries
- Joint injuries
- Mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder
These conditions could qualify you for substantial workers’ compensation. Unfortunately, health care facilities like hospitals and their workers’ comp insurance providers do not always treat claims fairly. We can help you appeal a denied claim or inadequate settlement offer.
How Pittsburgh’s Health Care Workers Get Hurt
The health care environment presents unique risks. Lifting and moving patients can lead to back and joint injuries. Slips and falls are common due to wet floors. Puncture wounds from needles and sharps pose serious risks. Violence from patients and their relatives can result in physical and emotional harm. Additionally, exposure to contagious diseases is a constant concern.
