Answering Your Workers’ Compensation Questions
Personalized Guidance Through the Claims Process
Whether you work on a construction site, in an office, at a hospital, in a classroom, or in any other type of setting, there is always a danger of injury or illness, yet no one expects to have an accident, especially while on the job. For this reason, many injured workers do not know how to react or what steps to take. Most people find themselves asking a lot of questions about their situation but do not know how to get the answers they need to move forward.
Was it your fault? Can your employer help you through this time? What if it was one of your coworkers’ fault? Should you file a workers’ compensation claim? Should you see the doctor? These and many more are probably filling your head during this difficult time. Many people find themselves worried about how they can continue to provide for themselves and their families when they need to take time off of work to heal.
At The Harris Firm, we understand the questions that you have and the worries and anxiety that you are feeling. Your work and income sustain your life, and you want to get back to your life as quickly and as pain-free as possible. After all, you have been through enough pain.

Common Injuries Covered by Workers’ Compensation
While some of the most common work-related injuries occur in construction and nursing, as these jobs involve manual labor that creates many opportunities for injury, accidents in the workplace can happen to anyone in any profession. When these accidents occur, they can lead to a number of serious and debilitating injuries, including:
- Fractures and broken bones due to falls from heights
- Crushing injuries or loss of limb due to working with heavy machinery
- Sprains and strains from lifting or overexertion
- Repetitive use injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, from repetitive motions like typing or assembly line work
- Back injuries, including herniated discs or chronic pain
- Occupational illnesses, including respiratory issues from exposure to toxic substances or illnesses caused by sick patients
- Cuts and lacerations, which pose risks of infection or further complications
- Hearing loss resulting from prolonged exposure to loud work environments
- Slips, trips, and falls from improper signage or long hours in bad weather
Nurses, in particular, are at risk for a large variety of injuries and illnesses. While their interaction with sick patients can leave them at risk of contracting diseases, nurses also frequently suffer physical injuries when lifting patients or caring for combative patients. Unfortunately, when nurses are injured on the job, they often find that their employers, despite having a focus on care, are among the most contentious parties in the workers’ compensation system. Getting the care and compensation you deserve from the healthcare industry can be a challenge that requires the help of an experienced professional. Fortunately, The Harris Firm has decades of experience dealing with these cases.
