5 Common Types of Workers Compensation Claims

2/3/2020

Picture
​In any workplace setting, there is always a risk for accidents and injuries. As a business owner, you should do whatever you can to mitigate these risks, like providing adequate training and accident-proofing the workplace. However, there is no way you can make it impossible for your employees to have an accident while at work.
When an employee gets injured at work, they may be entitled to workers’ compensation, which will depend on the severity and the impact of the injury to the worker’s life. If you manage a business which puts a substantial amount of risk on your workers’ safety, you should know the types of claims that they can file:

  1. Overexertion
    Overexertion is the most common compensation claim, making up about 25% of the total financial compensation claims that get filed in the US. Overexertion due to lifting objects, pushing objects, carrying objects, and other work activities can cause injuries that vary from mild to severe. To prevent overexertion, workers should be properly educated about the correct protocol when handling heavy objects and equipment.

  2. Falling or slipping
    About 16% of workers’ compensation is given to workers that have fallen on any type of surface. A lot of falling cases occur during inclement weather conditions, where the floors are covered with ice, rain, or snow. Thus, a business can protect their workers from this type of accident by installing non-slip flooring and requiring employees to wear non-slip shoes.

  3. Falling to a lower level
    Falling on the same level is a different claim from falling to a lower level. Nearly 10% of compensation claims result from this type of accident, and the injuries are often more severe due to the impact of falling from a substantial height.

  4. Bodily reactions
    This type of claim can be filed by workers who are injured while they are reaching, climbing, sitting, standing, or bending.

  5. Struck by an object
    Lastly, the fifth most common type of workers' compensation claim is being struck by an object, causing injury to any part of the body. This usually occurs when an object falls from a higher level or from other workers’ hands.

For all business owners, getting the right type of workers comp is a must. In this way, you can protect your business from the compensation claims highlighted above.

I'm glad you mentioned that slipping on a surface in inclement weather is usually covered by workers' compensation. My sister slipped and hurt her wrist at the entryway of her work because the floor was wet from tracked-in snow. I'll have to encourage her to consult with a workers' comp lawyer in her area now that I know she might be eligible!
