What Are The Most Common Health Care Worker Injuries?

Hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, medical labs and doctor’s offices all have their hazards. Some of the most common causes of workers’ compensation claims for health care employees include:

  • Musculoskeletal injuries, including sprains and strains from lifting and transferring patients, or repetitive motion injuries from charting and typing
  • Needlestick injuries or cuts from sharp objects that expose workers to infectious pathogens
  • Slips, trips and falls, which can lead to broken bones, serious back injuries and traumatic brain injuries
  • Violent assaults from agitated and disoriented patients or angry family members of patients

Whether you simply need help with your claim or you suspect that you are being treated unfairly, legal guidance from an experienced attorney can make sure that your rights are protected and that you get every dollar and benefit you deserve. We help:

  • Physicians and physician assistants
  • Nurses and nurse practitioners
