Unique Workplace Injuries For Healthcare Professionals

Nurses, aids, assistants and doctors are constantly on the move. For employees in the healthcare industry, no day is ever the same. Each new shift brings different patients with their own unique set of challenges.  Whether it’s the fast pace of a busy hospital or  residential facility unpredictable health issues and maybe even unstable personalities are not uncommon.

A fast-paced environment and unpredictable routine can also lead to accidents and injuries, making it one of the most likely industries for workers’ compensation claims. The most common workplace injuries sustained by the healthcare workforce include:

Health care workers are also susceptible to slip, trip and fall injuries and workplace violence. Additionally, ongoing stress can lead to long-lasting trauma and mental health exhaustion.

Workers’ Compensation Benefits For Healthcare Employees

Throughout the different industry sectors, the healthcare industry is ranked as one of the highest for workers’ compensation claims due to work-related injuries. Employers are required to carry workers’ compensation coverage in the State of New Jersey, which means that healthcare workers qualify for workers compensation benefits. Workers’ comp benefits for healthcare workers include compensation for medical bills, recovery therapies and even out of work time.
