Common Injuries In The Manufacturing Industry

Working on the assembly line and elsewhere in a factory often involves repetitive motions and work, doing the same movements over and over. This opens the door for serious repetitive motion injuries.

Many lines of work can impact the spine and other joints. Lower back injuries, shoulder injuries, hip injuries, knee injuries and other joint injuries are frequently the result of repetitive stress in a manufacturing environment. Such injuries can result in serious surgical consequences, like spine surgery, total knee replacements or total hip replacements. An injured worker deserves workers’ compensation benefits if their workplace duties played a role in the need for such surgery.

Sometimes, these occupational exposure injuries are not adequately documented. An attorney can help develop and define the nature of the injury and claim. Copies of job descriptions, handwritten job duty notes, ergonomic assessments, workplace videos and any injury or accident reports can all help when alleging an occupational exposure claim.

Factory or manufacturing work also involves the movement of heavy items. It involves the use of large and dangerous equipment like punch presses, saws and drills. Because of this, serious accidents can happen. Workers may suffer head injuries, back injuries and other catastrophic injuries due to being hit by falling objects, falling from heights, improperly maintained equipment and more.

Regardless of the type of injury you have suffered, our lawyers are committed to helping you get the benefits you need to get better and move on with your life.
