Attorney Handling Workers' Comp Accidents
Workers' Comp Accidents and Injuries
Because Texas law protects anyone injured due to an accident arising out of or during the course of their employment, almost any type of accident while working can be regarded as a workers' compensation accident. From forklift accidents to falls, or electrical accidents to mechanical failures, all can lead to injuries that would be covered under the Texas workers' compensation system.
Such accidents can lead to serious injuries that require extensive medical care or that cause disabilities, preventing you from being able to work regularly. Some injuries are caused by repetitive trauma, such as carpal tunnel syndrome or back injuries. There are also injuries caused by work conditions, such as mesothelioma due to exposure to asbestos.
Some of the numerous injuries that can occur in a work environment include:
- Neck, back, and knee injuries
- Burns
- Disfigurement and scarring of face, neck or hands
- Loss of use of limbs
- Fractures
- Work-related stress
- Sexual harassment
- Eye injuries
- Asthma or other work related pulmonary conditions
- Carpal tunnel-repetitive trauma injuries
- Hearing problems
- Work-induced heart attack or stroke
- Occupational diseases such as asbestosis and dermatitis
