Personal Injury Lawyer: Types of Occupational Injuries

Occupational injuries can be serious, and can lead to loss of wages, hospitalization, high medical and healthcare bills, and undue stress on you and your family. Some jobs are, by nature, more risky than others, but if you are hurt while doing your job correctly, you may be entitled to receive significant financial compensation for your injuries.

All occupational injuries are unique, but there are certain general types of occupational injuries to be aware of. Neck and shoulder injuries are some of the most common and most serious occupational injuries. Elbow injuries such as epicondylitis also occur regularly. Hand and wrist occupational injuries often include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis in the hand or wrist, and hand-arm vibration syndrome. Back occupational injuries are seen among the most frequently, and can cause chronic and constant pain.
