Understanding What Qualifies as a Workplace Accident
Anything that happens to you in the workplace that is not part of your normal work routine can be considered an accident, and if you are injured, it can be the basis for a workers' compensation claim. Common types of work accidents include but are not limited to:
- Machine accidents
- Heavy lifting accidents
- Falling objects
- Slip and fall accidents
- Auto accidents
- Explosions
- Electrocution incidents
Even if you were not actually in your workplace when you had an accident, you can still get workers' compensation if you were working at the time. For instance, if you were making a delivery or traveling between two facilities, your accident may be considered work-related.
Pursuing Benefits No Matter Who Was at Fault
It is important to remember that for purposes of workers' compensation, it does not matter who was at fault for your injuries. Even if your work accident was the result of your own negligence, as long as you did not get injured on purpose, you are still entitled to benefits.
Our firm has been representing injured workers for more than 25 years and has helped many clients obtain workers' compensation benefits for work accidents. To discuss your case with an experienced workers' comp lawyer, please contact us.
