What Are Work-Related Accidents?

Injuries are considered work-related if your accident occurred in the work environment.

Some examples of work-related accidents include:

• Slip and fall accidents
• Falls from heights
• Fires and explosions
• Motor vehicle accidents
• Exposure to chemicals
• Construction accidents
• Machinery accidents

After your injury, you may be able to apply for workers’ compensation benefits, which cover physical injuries as well as psychological impairments. You can file a workers’ compensation claim through your employer and report the accident to your supervisor to receive benefits.

Benefits of workers’ compensation include:

• Paid medical bills
• Temporary and permanent disability benefits
• Death benefits

However, a third party involved in your case may be liable. Our Rosedale workplace injury lawyers can help determine responsibility and whether you may be able to sue a third party for damages. As the injured party, you deserve to be fully compensated for your accident – we’re here to help.
