Workplace accidents occur anywhere, anytime.
There are many different types of injuries that occur on the job, such as slip and falls, getting caught in or struck by machinery, or overexertion. These types of accidents can occur anywhere – on a construction site, in a warehouse or factory, or at an office.
When injured, many workers file a workers’ compensation claim for benefits. However, insurance companies or employers sometimes try to deny coverage or to minimize the injury. They might allege that the worker’s injuries developed while they weren’t on the job or that the worker’s injuries aren’t as serious as the worker says.
