Work injuries can be very painful, affect your ability to work, and even threaten your livelihood. A work injury can range from mild to severe and includes such common symptoms as numbness, stiffness, pain, and reduced activity tolerance.

Types of Work Injuries

  • Repetitive motion injuries. This type of work injury is especially common among people in computer-related jobs. Those workers who perform repetitive motions when operating certain equipment or machinery can also experience this type of injury. Repetitive motions are more dangerous than many people think because they can cause wear and tear of joints.
  • Machine-related injuries. This type of injury is common in the construction and manufacturing industries. In most cases, they are localized in the legs, feet, arms, and hands. The main symptom of these injuries is severe pain.
  • Vehicle injuries. Usually, injuries of this type are serious and require a lot of recovery time. In most cases, employees who received vehicle injuries are eligible for injury compensation or workers’ compensation.
  • Slip and fall injuries. This type of work-related injury can happen in any industry and any company. This type of accident usually occurs because of wet and slippery surfaces.
  • Trauma injuries. This injury often occurs at mining, construction, and manufacturing sites. A person is usually injured by falling from a height or being hit by an object. Trauma injuries can be very expensive and require high medical expenses. Also, employees who had a trauma may need a long time to recover.
