What kinds of injuries are covered by Workers Compensation?
Almost any kind of injury caused while working can be claimed. An injury or condition that existed prior to your employment cannot be claimed unless it has been substantially aggravated or worsened while performing work-related activities. Common injuries include back injury, burns, cuts, head trauma, asbestos exposure, eye injury, knee injury, exposure to harmful substances, work-induced heart attack, carpal tunnel syndrome or other injuries related to repetitive trauma, disfigurement, and other problems.
