Nobody should have to worry about a denied or delayed injury claim.

What do we know about workplace injuries

Workplace injuries are not uncommon. In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statistics tells us that there were approximately 2.8 million workplace injuries and illnesses reported during the latest reporting year in the US.

  • Out of those injuries, 900,000 of them resulted in workers needing time away from their job.

What are the most common injuries in the workplace

Most workplace injuries are relatively minor, but they can still lead to medical expenses and lost income for a worker. However, more serious injuries can lead to long-term financial and health consequences. Some common injuries our San Bernardino workplace injuries attorneys handle include:

  1. Spinal Cord Injuries
  2. Traumatic Brain Injuries
  3. Broken or Dislocated Bones
  4. Severe lacerations or amputations
  5. Hearing and Vision Loss
  6. Respiratory Problems or other chronic illnesses
  7. Cancers

You will see that some of those injuries are not necessarily caused by immediate traumatic events. Some of them are the result of long-term exposure to hazardous conditions, materials, and chemicals. In these cases, workers may not have known they were being harmed until an illness diagnosis later in life, possibly even after retirement.

The top three causes of work-related injuries are:

  1. Overexertion and bodily reaction
  2. Contact with objects and equipment
  3. Slips, trips, and falls

Are some industries more dangerous than others

We want to make it very clear that workers can be injured in any industry. However, some are more dangerous than others. We know that approximately 350 workers in California lose their lives due to workplace injuries during the latest year of reporting. Some of the most dangerous industries (fatalities per 100,000 workers) include:

  1. Logging workers
  2. Aircraft pilots
  3. Truck drivers
  4. Construction workers
  5. Taxi drivers
  6. Welders
  7. Ground maintenance and tree trimmers
  8. Construction forepersons
  9. Building painters
  10. Farmworkers
  11. Police officers
