Workers are hurt in Manhattan every year
Manhattan has millions of workers. Unfortunately, some of those workers are hurt every year in workplace accidents. There are many different types of accidents and injuries that can happen:
- Falls from heights, such as ladders, scaffolding, or elevated platforms, can lead to fractures, head injuries, and spinal cord injuries.
- Repeated movements or actions can result in repetitive motion injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, or bursitis.
- Overexertion, heavy lifting, or sudden movements can cause strains and sprains in muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
- Workers can be trapped or caught between heavy objects or machinery, resulting in severe crushing injuries, fractures, or amputations.
- Electric shocks, arc flashes, or contact with live wires can cause electrical burns, cardiac arrest, or nerve damage.
- Exposure to heat, flames, chemicals, or electrical sources can lead to severe burns, which may require extensive medical treatment and result in scarring or disfigurement.
- Workers in industries with exposure to hazardous substances or poor air quality may develop respiratory illnesses or suffer from lung damage.
- Contact with hazardous chemicals or toxic substances can cause skin irritation, chemical burns, or internal organ damage.
- Workers exposed to flying debris, chemicals, or foreign objects can sustain eye injuries, ranging from minor irritations to severe damage or vision loss.
- Injuries can occur due to malfunctioning or improperly used machinery, leading to crushing injuries, amputations, or lacerations.
When workers are hurt on the job, they deserve workers’ compensation benefits. These benefits include coverage of all medical expenses related to their injuries, as well as partial wages while they can’t return to work. However, the claims process can be complicated, and many claims are denied.
