Macon Workers' Compensation AttorneyNo one is immune from workplace injuries. Certainly, those who have jobs that require heavy physical labor can get hurt at work. But even those who work at a desk or at a hospital caring for patients can be injured while performing their duties. Bending to lift a box, helping move a patient, keyboarding, redundant movements on an assembly line … all of these activities could lead to a workplace injury.

Common Workplace Injuries
Some examples of injuries that frequently occur on the job are:
- Forklift accidents
- Carpal tunnel from redundant movements from keyboarding and assembly jobs
- Falls from ladders and scaffolding resulting in brain, back, paralysis and other injuries
- Lifting injuries resulting in torn ligaments and sprains
- Burns, both heat- and chemical-related
- Electrical injuries such as electrocution
- Equipment-related injuries such as when equipment or a machine malfunctions
- On-the-job car accidents, slips, falls, animal bites
But there are hundreds of other injuries that workers suffer every day that entitle them to workers’ compensation benefits when they are hurt and unable to work.
The workers’ compensation system is designed to offer benefits for those who are injured while working for their employers. Those benefits include weekly monetary benefits as well as medical and prescription benefits. Often, without workers’ compensation benefits, individuals find themselves in dire health and financial circumstances. If you have been injured on the job and cannot work due to your injuries, then you are entitled to receive workers’ comp benefits.
