What types of injuries qualify for a workers’ compensation claim?
The most common type of work injury occurs because of an accident sustained in the course of employment. However, work injuries also include illness, disease, or other conditions that result from the nature of the employment, such as overuse or repetitive stress injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome, a degenerative back condition, or occupational hearing loss.
Death benefits to a surviving spouse or dependents may be available when an injured worker dies as a result of a work injury.
