WORKERS COMPENSATION DOCTOR

According to the National Safety Council, someone is injured on the job every seven seconds. If you are one of these people, your injury will influence not only your work life, but also your home life. That’s why it is so very important for you to get back on your feet and heal as quickly as possible. Finding a worker’s comp doctor who can recommend physical rehab is one of the best ways to improve the healing process and ensure you can get back to doing your job as quickly as possible. 

Common Workplace Injuries

The most common injuries that affect workers’ ability to do their jobs and result in the most workers compensation claims are:

• Sprains, strains, or tears: These are more commonly known as “overexertion” injuries you can get when you perform repetitive motions such as lifting and lowering objects. In fact, 33.54% of all reported injuries are caused by overexertion. 
• Collisions with work equipment or other objects: About 26% of all reported injuries are incurred when workers are struck by objects or equipment, when workers get caught inside moving equipment, or when they get stuck inside a structure or beside material and equipment that collapses on them. 
• Slips and falls: Another 25.8% of all reported injuries occur when employees slip and/or fall. These falls may be relatively minor, such as a fall to the floor, or they may be significant, such as a fall from tens of feet. 

Who Is Most Likely to be Injured on the Job?

There are a few industries in which workers compensation claims are well above average. If you work in any of these industries, you are far more likely to be injured on the job. They include:

• Public Service: Firemen, police officers, and experience a greater number of on-the-job injuries than people in other industries. 
• Transportation: People who work in the transportation and shipping industry are prone to injuries due to prolonged sitting and the risk of accidents. 
• Manufacturing: If you work in the manufacturing industry, you likely work around equipment with moving parts. These moving parts make the manufacturing industry one of those with the highest number of workers compensation claims. 
• Repair and Maintenance: No matter what you install, repair, and/or maintain, working with various tools and electricity – often in cramped quarters or high in the air – puts you at risk.
• Construction: The construction industry is known for its incredibly high injury rate, and it also has a high on-the-job fatality rate. 

If you have been injured on the job, finding a worker’s comp doctor should be high on your priority list. They have been specifically trained to not only help you find the right physical rehab program to get you back on your feet, but they can also help you file your insurance claims and make sure you get the treatment you need.
