Have you had a work related back injury?

One of the most commonly reported workers’ compensation injuries is the back injury.  Back pain can result from long hours walking on concrete, sitting in a non-ergonomic chair, getting hit in the back, or falling onto your back.  Whatever the cause, the injury can be compensable if it arises out of your work responsibilities. 

The injury does not need to occur in just one day, it can take place over time.  Be sure and report your back pain to your supervisor, preferably in writing, if you suspect it might be work related.

Symptoms may be as varied as pain and numbness from your back all the way to your arms and legs.  In some cases the nerve pain can be permanent if not treated.

If your employer has not responded appropriately to you complaints of back pain then you should consider obtaining assistance from an attorney in evaluating your options.
