Common Workplace Injuries That Can Lead to Total Disability

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, roughly three million people suffer non-fatal workplace injuries and illnesses every year. This statistic covers individuals from all walks of life, with workers in agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting; construction; manufacturing; transportation and warehousing; health care; arts, entertainment and recreation; and, state and local government reporting the highest rates of injury.

The following are all examples of common workplace injuries which, depending on their severity, may entitle you to obtain SSD benefits:

• Repetitive stress injuries (typing, bending and lifting, loading, assembly line)
• Back and spinal cord injuries
• Dislocations, separations, and broken bones (hip, shoulder, finger, collar bone)
• Sprains, strains, and tears (ankle, wrist, elbow)
• Tendonitis
• Stress fractures and other overuse injuries
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Mold and toxic chemical exposure

We handle all types of cases, and it is not unusual for us to receive calls from individuals who are seeking compensation for workplace injuries arising from:

Seeking Financial Compensation for Your Workplace Injuries

In addition to SSD benefits, you may also be entitled to seek worker’s compensation and/or file a lawsuit against your employer for your injuries. There are plenty of things employers can (and should) do to protect their employees from dangerous conditions and avoidable workplace accidents. If they fail to meet their obligations, they need to be held responsible for their actions. The lawyers at David Allen & Associates can assess your case and help you obtain maximum compensation for your medical expenses, missed income, and other losses.
