Common Office Injuries In California
Office workers frequently suffer from several types of workplace injuries that may entitle them to workers’ compensation benefits.
- Repetitive stress injuries: Conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis and other musculoskeletal disorders develop from repeated motions such as typing or using a mouse.
- Back and neck injuries: Poor ergonomics, improper lifting techniques and inadequate office furniture can lead to serious spinal problems that may require extensive treatment.
- Slip-and-fall accidents: Wet floors, loose carpeting and cluttered walkways can cause falls resulting in sprains, fractures or head injuries.
These injuries can significantly impact your ability to work and your quality of life, which is why seeking proper compensation is crucial for your recovery.
