What is considered a work injury?

Any injury, ailment, or illness that is sustained while an employee is on the job can be defined as a work injury. Many occupations pose potentially dangerous situations, such as nursing, construction, or police work. However, even occupations that you may not consider to pose potentially dangerous situations can lead to pain or injury.

For example, even jobs in an office can lead to work injuries. Sitting in the same position for prolonged periods of time can take a toll on your body. People who work in offices or factories are also prone to repetitive motion injuries, due to the fact that their jobs require constant repetition. If you happen to get hurt at work, it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible, since almost any type of injury left untreated may become more severe over time.

What are the most common work injuries? The most common types of work injuries include:

• Back Pain
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Sprains and Strains
• Tendonitis
• Auto Accidents
