Common Types of Workers’ Comp Cases
Accidents happen in workplaces across Kentucky every day. Some of the most common work-related accidents involve:
Motor Vehicle Accidents
You cannot file a claim for accidents traveling to and from work, but if your travel is part of your work duties, you can file a claim. For example, if you use a company truck to bring goods to customers or to travel to a job site and are in an accident, you can file a claim.
Construction Accidents
Workers’ comp cases involving construction accidents can be complex, depending on the severity of your injuries. You may have crushed bones or need amputation, and these injuries can cause permanent disabilities.
Accidents on construction sites often involve:
- Heavy machinery
- Falling objects
- Falls
- Unstable surfaces
- Lifting injuries
If your workers’ comp case involves an incident that occurred on a construction site, contact an attorney to review your claim. You may be entitled to additional benefits under workers’ comp if your employer failed to follow safety requirements.
