Every workplace, whether it’s an office or a construction site, has potential hazards that can cause harm to employees. In Texas, as well as in most states, employers are required to provide a safe environment for their workers, but unfortunately, accidents still happen.
Common Causes of Workplace Injuries
According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), a worker is injured every seven seconds due to various factors, including overexertion, contact with objects and equipment, and slips and falls. These accidents can happen in any industry, but some of the top occupations with the highest rates of workplace injuries include firefighters, police officers, transportation/shipping workers, manufacturing employees, and construction workers.
If you’ve been injured on the job, it can have a significant impact on your life. You may be facing lost wages due to time off work and medical expenses from treating your injuries. That’s why it’s important to seek compensation for your damages.
