Almost any type of physical injury or mental illness caused by your work is covered. This includes all types of orthopedic injuries, including fractures, herniated discs and muscle strains. Many times employees fail to realize that Workers Compensation also covers other types of work-related injuries, including carpal tunnel syndrome, loss of hearing/vision, lung injuries, heart attacks, strokes, hernias, disfiguring scars, and occupational diseases such as asbestosis. You should call one of our attorneys to see if your injury qualifies for Workers' Compensation.
