Work accidents can happen at any time. Did you know that nearly 3 million nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses were reported by private industry employers in 2011, according to the Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII), conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics?
An injury caused from an unsafe work environment should always be reported and accounted for. There are times when a work-related injury can be severe and difficult for both you and your family. Some of the more common incidents include:
- Factory-based injuries
- Heavy machinery/equipment-based injuries
- Office-based injuries
- Retail-based injuries
- Warehouse-based injuries
