Types of Incidents and Injuries that Employees Could Suffer

In the workplace, certain hazards can contribute to incidents that could ultimately lead to harm. Some of the incidents that unsuspecting workers can experience include the following:

• Slip and fall accidents (associated with slip hazards, like wet floors, leaks, missing warning signs, etc.)
• Trip and fall accidents (associated with trip hazards, like torn carpeting, broken tiles, broken concrete, etc.)
• Falling object incidents (associated with objects in elevated areas that are not properly secured or stored, for instance)
• Machinery/equipment incidents (associated with lack of maintenance and lack of training, for instance)
• Vehicular accidents (associated with lack of safety protocol, training, and licensing, for instance)

These are just a few of the accidents that could occur at the workplace. All of these incidents can potentially lead to injuries. These incidents could lead to a number of injuries ranging in severity. Victims of these incidents could experience some of the following injuries: head injuries; traumatic brain injuries; neck injuries; back injuries; spinal cord injuries; hip injuries; pelvic injuries; knee injuries; shoulder injuries; fractures; nerve damage; muscle damage; ligament damage; lacerations; sprains and strains; scrapes and bruises.

Regardless of the specific incident and harm that you or a member of your family suffered as a direct result of a workplace accident, you might be entitled to receive certain benefits or monetary compensation.

Workplace Injuries and Workers’ Compensation

Workers’ compensation insurance is a type of coverage that employers can purchase to cover them in case of employee injuries in the workplace. If employees experience an incident, they must report it to their employer as soon as possible to begin the workers’ compensation process. The employer must provide the employee with the necessary forms that he or she must return so that the employer can send it off to the insurance provider. After the forms are sent off, the claim will be approved or denied. If the claim is approved, the employee can start receiving certain benefits (including medical care, lost earnings, temporary/permanent disability, and more). However, not all claims are approved – even if they are valid.

Unfortunately, some claims are wrongfully denied. The workers’ compensation insurance company can refuse to pay benefits for those with legitimate injuries. They claim that the injury was not work-related or occurred elsewhere, for instance. When claims are denied, employees have the option to appeal. However, most employees are unaware of their right to appeal. In general, this means that employers and their insurance companies can get away with taking advantage of injured employees. When this occurs, employees must resort to other options.

Can You Sue?

Depending on the details surrounding your specific situation, you might have grounds to sue for the harm resulting from the workplace incident. Can you sue? You could sue if any of the following is true:

• Your employer does not carry any workers’ compensation insurance.
• Your employer does not carry enough workers’ compensation insurance.
• Your workers’ compensation claim was wrongfully denied.
• Your employer’s negligence directly contributed to the incident and the injuries sustained.
• Your employer intentionally harmed you.

What Should You Do?

After any sort of personal injury accident, including workplace accidents, there are a number of things that should be done to prepare to pursue a claim. Consider some of the following recommendations:

• Seek medical assistance immediately
• Take photos of your injuries immediately
• Take photos of the scene of the accident
• Report the incident to your employer immediately
• Speak to witnesses and gather their contact information
• Gather any video footage that captured your incident
• Gather all medical records
• Gather all records of lost wages
• Seek legal assistance as soon as possible

The Statute of Limitations

All claims are subject to strict deadlines. Texas workers’ compensation claims, for instance, are subject to a one-year deadline. If you are pursuing a civil lawsuit, however, your claim will likely be subject to a two-year statute of limitations, for instance. If you fail to file your claim within the appropriate length of time, you could unfortunately lose your right to take any legal action. If you are interested in learning more about the total length of time that you have to file your claim within the appropriate length of time, you should seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm immediately.
