I was hurt on-the-job and want to know what kind of work-related injures are covered if I am able to file a personal injury lawsuit?
Almost any injury can be potentially covered in a personal injury lawsuit. The kinds of work-related injuries that we typically see include, but are not limited to the following injuries:
- Back
- Neck
- Shoulder
- Knee
- Head trauma
- Brain injuries
- Repetitive strain injuries
- Any type/kind of physical injury covered by workers’ compensation, provided it is work-related
- Any type/kind of industrial disease covered by workers’ compensation, provided it is work-related
It is important to be aware that a medical condition or an injury that pre-existed to becoming employed may not qualify, unless it was aggravated or accelerated on-the-job.
