Workers’ Comp History

Q: WHAT KIND OF INJURIES ARE COVERED BY WORKERS' COMPENSATION?

A: Almost any type of physical injury or mental illness caused by your work is covered.

This includes all types of orthopedic injuries, including fractures, herniated discs and muscle strains. Many times employees fail to realize that Workers' Compensation also covers other types of work-related injuries, including carpal tunnel syndrome, loss of hearing/vision, lung injuries, heart attacks, strokes, hernias, disfiguring scars, and occupational diseases such as asbestos. You should call an attorney if you want to be certain your injury qualifies for Workers' Compensation.
