Neck Injuries
Workers who suffer neck injuries as the result of actions in the workplace may be eligible for worker’s compensation benefits to help support them as they recover from the injury. Unfortunately, many neck injuries may seem minor at first and get progressively worse as time goes on.
It is important for employees who are injured on the job to immediately report the injury to their supervisors and consult a medical professional as soon as symptoms arise. If you have suffered a neck injury and feel you may be eligible for worker’s compensation benefits, contact the Philadelphia worker’s compensation attorneys of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. at 215-238-1130.
Common Neck Injuries
Neck injuries can seriously affect a worker’s ability to perform the required duties of his or her job. Some common forms of neck injuries include:
- Muscle strains
- Soreness of the tendons
- Whiplash injuries
- Muscle tears
- Neck pain caused by repetitive motion
- Trauma injuries caused by accidents on the job
- Soreness and strain caused by heavy helmets and other headgear
Neck injuries can seriously inhibit a person’s ability to move his or her head from side to side and may cause issues with operating a motor vehicle or heavy machinery. If you have suffered a neck injury on the job, it is important to alert your supervisor before continuing to operate dangerous equipment.
