Work Injury Attorneys

Have you ever suffered an accident in your work area? Things like falls, broken bones, broken teeth, falling downstairs, etc., are common incidents at work and could make someone a candidate for workers’ compensation.

Regardless of what your job is, you can suffer an incident that leaves you unwell. After suffering an incident at the workplace, the worker is supposed to be compensated.

If you have ever seen yourself in that type of situation, you may be interested in continuing to read this text.

According to the International Labour Organization, a work injury is a “discrete occurrence in the course of work” leading to physical or mental occupational injury. This includes an infinity of possible scenarios that you could suffer and that qualifies as a work injury. It could also include what is known as a fatal work accident, which is defined as an accident that leads to the death of a victim.
