Serious Physical Work Injuries

A work-related injury is one that occurs while doing your job, which includes but is not limited to, accidents at a jobsite or on location and motor vehicle accidents. In certain situations, injuries can even happen in your employer's parking lot.

The most dangerous occupations with the highest risk of work-related injuries are construction workers, correction officers, emergency medical tehnicians (EMT), oilfield workers, carpenters, firefighters, nursing assistants, police officers and truck drivers. Industrial workers like assembly line, factory and warehouse workers are also at high risk of experiencing job injuries.

Many of these occupations require a level of exertion and interaction with machinery and equipment that can lead to a job injury. Because these jobs are very physical, sometimes workers experience physical overexertion. This leads to sprains, strains and back and neck injuries. Overexertion and hazardous working environments can also lead to injuries from slips, trips and falls.

Some occupations require a worker to perform the same motions every day for an extended period of time. Be it janitorial, factory or office jobs, repetitive physical motions over time can injure connective tissues including tendons and ligaments. These cumulative injuries can result in tendinitis, bursitis, and carpal tunnel syndrome .

In Oklahoma, most employers are required to carry workers' compensation insurance. This means, that you as an employee injured on the job should not have to pay out of pocket for medical treatment,  rehabilitation or have a total loss of income due to missed workdays.
