In 2014, nearly 5,000 workers were killed on the job with several thousands more suffering injuries on the job. If you have been in a workplace accident, you need to contact the personal injury attorneys at Greenberg & Stein to seek just compensation for your injuries.
According to research from The Fiscal Times, sprains and strains were “the most common workplace injury.” The most common job sites were manufacturing and retail workers since they require repetitive motions, heavy lifting, and deal with specific machinery.
That being said, other fields, such as construction, have a high likelihood of workplace injuries due to many of the same factors. Any excessive, repetitive motions or lifting causes stress on the muscles and tendons in the body causing a plethora of problems: Yes, even complications arising from eye strain could be cause for proper compensation of your medical expenses!
