The Most Common Workers Compensation Claims

It is common for business owners to see workers' compensation insurance as a basic expense of doing business.  orange cones and a yellow hard hat

Yet, workers' compensation provides a wide range of financial protection. It can help to ensure that good relationships exist between you and your employees. This type of financial protection helps to cover the losses your employees might suffer. Employees might suffer due to an injury or illness that occurs on the job. Do you know the risks? 

Workers compensation insurance claims differ by industry. Generally, they happen because of working conditions that are not safe or ideal. They might also happen due to mistakes during the course of business.  

The following are some of the most common claims. 

  • Overexertion: These are injuries brought on by someone who pulls, pushes, lifts or even throws something to the point where an injury occurs. It is common in factory and construction jobs but can occur in any job where physical work is necessary. 

  • Slips and falls: This can occur anywhere. The most common causes are wet floors, but it can also be due to snow, ice, clutter or uneven ground. 

  • Object strikes: This type of claim can occur in many situations. It generally occurs when something falls and hits a worker, such as something falling off of a shelf. It is common in restaurant and retail jobs. 

  • Falls: Falling from a ladder or off the roof can be a big problem as well. Any worker who works on surfaces where there are multi-levels is at risk for this. These risks including roof workers, construction workers or even teachers who fall down stairs. 

  • Highway accidents: Workers' compensation insurance can help employers overcome losses when an employee gets hurt while operating a vehicle while on business.

 

There are many other risks involved. Bodily reactions can occur when someone twists or sprains something trying to avoid falling. Accidents can also occur when machinery and equipment are not used in the right manner.  

With the right workers' compensation insurance, it can be easier to overcome these losses and keep your business safe.
