Office Workers

Although working in an office may seem like a rather safe situation, you may still be exposed to a number of risks resulting in an injury. Injuries common for office workers range from slip and fall injuries to repetitive motion injuries. Office workplace injuries are no less common than injuries in other work settings. Like injuries in other fields, office workers are eligible for workers’ compensation benefits if injured while at work.

Do you know someone who has been injured while working in an office? Our workers’ compensation attorneys can help your loved one get compensated for their injuries. Contact a workers’ compensation attorney in your area to review the office-related work injury.

Common office worker injuries:

  • Slip and fall
  • Hit with a moving object
  • Repetitive strain injury
  • Caught between objects
  • Overexertion
  • Eyestrain

Office worker injuries can result from a number of causes. Many issues are seen with poor lighting, loud noises, and poorly designed furniture. Some injuries result from machines, equipment, and new carpeting that emit gas and vapors that may be hazardous. There are also repetitive stress injuries caused by doing the same thing over and over again. This is often coupled with poorly designed furniture that can aggravate a repetitive motion injury, making it worse.

There are also more sudden physical injuries that may occur in the workplace. For example, falls can be the result of wet floors, uneven floors, or wrinkled carpet. Workers may get hit with falling or flying objects in an office. File drawers left open pose a threat. Office workers may also get injured by getting stuck between objects or attempting to move heavy office furniture. There are a wide variety of ways that office workers may get injured while in the office.

If you or someone you know has suffered an injury related to their office job, our workers’ compensation lawyers are here to help. Contact a lawyer in your local area for an initial consultation.

Workers’ compensation pays out over $20 billion in compensation for repetitive stress injuries. The most common repetitive stress injuries are to the wrist, elbow, and shoulders. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a repetitive stress injury common in offices.
