Lancaster Health Care Work Injury Attorney

Workers’ Compensation for Nurses and Health Care Workers

Hospitals and other medical facilities are designed to assist individuals after they have suffered diseases or injuries. But for people who work there, dangerous conditions, serious accidents and repeated stress can often be the cause of injuries.

Workers in those facilities who are injured deserve benefits to help them pay for medical care and lost wages during the recovery process. This includes doctors, nurses, aides and other staff.

If you have been injured in an accident in a health care facility, including a hospital, nursing home or other elder care facility, you need an experienced health care work injury lawyer who is on your side.

Recovering Benefits for Health Care Accident Injuries

Health care accidents happen frequently in facilities throughout Pennsylvania and can stem from a variety of events, including the lifting and moving of patients, defective equipment, falls and occupational disease. Injuries in the health care industry can also result from repetitive stress upon the joints, limbs and other areas of the body. Common injuries to health care workers include:

• Lower back injuries
• Herniated disks
• Back strains and sprains
• Shoulder injuries
• Leg, knee and ankle injuries
• Wrist injuries
• Carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive stress injuries
