The main point is that you can without a doubt prove that the injury was caused by employment or occurred during the course of employment. If the injury is a result of a single event, like an accident, for example, it may be much easier to prove than a cumulative condition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\"><span class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">Here is a quick breakdown of some of the most common conditions that qualify for workers&#8217; compensation:<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\">\n<ul class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\">\n<li class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">\n<p class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\"><span class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">Repetitive motion injuries: Individuals who work in factories, food processing plants, mail sorting facilities, etc. may experience accumulative injuries from repetitive motion. Common repetitive motion injuries may include carpal tunnel, tendonitis, chronic back pain, and simply wear and tear to shoulders, knees, and other ligaments. Repetitive motion injuries are among the hardest to prove due to the fact an employer could take the position that your injury is due to out-of-work activities like playing sports or doing yard work.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">\n<p class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\"><span class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">Occupational illness: Occupational illness typically occurs after years of exposure to harmful chemicals or respiratory irritants. Could be from exposure to asbestosis, arsenic, benzene, or any number of harmful chemicals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">\n<p class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\"><span class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">Hearing loss: Hearing loss can occur when an individual works in construction or operates heavy machinery. Ideally, an employer should provide all the necessary protective equipment for the requirements of a particular job, hearing protection included, however, some employers may neglect this responsibility and cause an employee to have permanent and irreversible damage to their hearing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">\n<p class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\"><span class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">Death by occupation: Unfortunately, deaths do occur in the workplace. It is truly a sad affair. It is important that spouses and dependents understand that they may qualify for workers&#8217; compensation death benefits. Even stepchildren and any family members who can show that they were financially dependent on the person who passed while on the job can receive some compensation as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">\n<p class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\"><span class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">Accidental injury: Many times workers&#8217; compensation claims are due to a single event like a slip and fall, struck-by injuries, or vehicle accidents. These kinds of injuries are typically the easiest to be rewarded a workers compensation claim, especially when immediate medical attention is needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\">\n<p class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\"><span class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">These are just a few examples of the kind of injuries that are common for workers&#8217; compensation. Recently, other claims have been made due to COVID-19 and mental and physical stress that may cause psychological conditions. This has been especially prevalent in the medical industry among doctors and nurses handling the COVID-19 pandemic. Other professions where physiological workman&#8217;s compensation may be rewarded include police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and other first responders.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font_3 wixui-rich-text__text\"><span class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">What Is Not Covered Under Workers Compensation?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\">\n<p class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\"><span class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">Although workers&#8217; compensation does protect workers in many different types of situations, there are exceptions that may disqualify someone from receiving compensation.
