Contrary to what you might think, it’s not just manual laborers who suffer from injuries at their place of work. Maybe it’s because we often see them wearing hard hats and protective gear whenever they’re on-site.
However, although injuries and illnesses are common in environments with immense physical activity and heavy machinery, it does not mean that those working in other professions are not prone to work-related injuries.
Workers get common workplace injuries all the time, even in offices, stores, hospitals, hotels, kitchens, and many other places. Some incidents are worse than others, with some even resulting in fatalities. All the same, employees who get injured on the job are entitled to fair workers’ compensation.
