Denied Claims / Delayed Claims
It can be a frustrating ordeal to have your workers compensation claim denied, but it does not always have to end there. You have the right to dispute the claim denial and may want to consult an attorney to do so.

When/if you receive your denial letter, it should have an explanation of your workman's comp insurance coverage and when/how you can appeal the denial. It should also note a deadline for filing the appeal which normally range between 30 and 90 days. Missing the deadline to file could potentially end your potential of getting compensation.

If you're unclear about this process, you should get in touch with a workers comp lawyer to help you get the full coverage you are entitled to.

Knee, Ankle, Foot Injury
When a crucial joint or muscle in your body, that is essential to movement, is injured in a work accident, it could ruin your ability to work or enjoy life outside of work. Some of these injuries could cause permanent damage and possibly hamper ones ability to walk now or even in the future.

25% percent of the human body’s bones reside in the foot. Such a complex structure is more prone to injury. Fractures, sprains and tearing of ligaments are some of the most common injuries, particularly affecting your ankle. Others include infection, heel spurs & dislocation. Common symptoms of these types of injuries are pain, swelling, blisters, bruising and an inability to perform manual tasks at home or at work.

If your are experiencing any of the above symptoms or pains, you must seek a medical professional for a proper diagnosis to potentially avoid a lifetime of suffering and also provide proper documentation for your workers compensation claim.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is the result of injuring the median nerve, which goes along the forearm and hand, over and over again. This is a common injury amongst computer workers but is also found amongst workers who operate heavy machinery. Repetition is at the core of this injury.

The pain can start slowly and progress quickly. It can start with tingling, pain, numbness, burning and weakening of the fingers, hands and wrist. If not treated, these symptoms can become debilitating send sharp sudden pains along the affected area.

Usually, carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by reduced space for the median nerve within the carpal tunnel. Other than the causes listed above, work stress, repetitive use of vibrating tools, fluid retention during menopause or pregnancy, or a cyst/tumor in the canal may also contribute to the symptoms you're feeling. Usually, one cause isn't singled out but a variety of factors are considered.

Overexertion
Just about any employee can get an injury due to overexertion. These types of cases make up close to 25% of workers compensation claims submitted. According to the US Department of Labor, some industries are more prone to musculoskeletal disorders because of overexertion at work. EMT's, home nurses & hospital nurses who spend their days helping patients to their feet & moving people around to bathrooms or new hospital beds. The healthcare industry with its repetitive movements and long hours make it a prime environment for injuries caused by overexertion.

In general, any industry that involves moving heavy objects from one place to another or even driving long distances for hours on end, employees are at great risk. These working conditions require making time to stretch, rest and proper safety equipment. If the precautions aren't taken, it could result in serious injury.

Injuries of this sort could result in long term damage if not treated immediately. See a medical professional for a diagnosis which could prove to be very valuable in your workers compensation claim.

Workplace Violence
The threat of violence against an individual is illegal, especially in a work environment. Employees have the right to to work in a place without discrimination, harassment or any type of  intimidation.

Studies show that every year, there are roughly two-million threats of violence in American places of work. These situations aren't only dangerous but are also very costly to employers (in America ~$36 billion per year).

Violent acts at work could also be caused by non-employees. For example, a criminal robbing a business. When working in a business where you have to interact with the public, you are very susceptible to unforeseen threats to your well-being. Still, employees or former employees are the cause of numerous workplace incidents.
 
If a co-worker, employer or non-employee threatens violence against you, you need to know your rights and options. Make clear documentation of the incident a speak with a Workplace Violence Attorney to discuss your options.

Chemical Exposure
If you were injured because of an exposure to a toxic chemical at work, depending on your circumstances, you may be entitled to compensation.

Common types of chemical exposures include Asbestos, Pesticides, Herbicides, Diacetyl, Flavoring Agents, Water-Air-Soil Contamination, Metal Poisoning and Carbon Monoxide Poisoning.

Usually, if you were injured because of a chemical exposure, you won't be the only one experiencing symptoms. It will greatly help your case if you could prove that other people at the same workplace have suffered similar injuries or illnesses. When you have a group of people suffering the sam symptoms, a mass tort lawsuit can be filed against the employer.

Regardless, one should immediately seek medical attention at the first sign of symptoms in order to prevent further escalation of the injury or illness and obtain proper documentation to support your workers compensation claim. Speak with a workers compensation attorney to discuss you options.
