Workplace Hip Injuries

Our hips are essential parts of our bodies, connecting our legs to our torsos and bearing the weight of our bodies. Damage to the hip can limit range of motion, cause permanent disability, or even necessitate surgical replacement of the entire hip joint. When serious hip injuries occur in the workplace, the injured employee has the right to seek workers’ compensation benefits to offset the cost of medical bills, lost time, and related expenses.

The cost of a serious injury begins from the moment an ambulance is dispatched. Ambulance bills alone can be thousands of dollars, not to mention the added cost of any procedures that are performed when the EMTs arrive on the scene. From there, admission to a hospital for treatment adds on additional expenses. Serious hip injuries can require extensive surgery, leading to thousands of dollars in additional medical debt.

If you or someone you love has sustained a serious hip injury at work, you have the right to request workers’ compensation for your medical bills, lost time, and other expenses resulting from your injury. Although anyone injured at work can seek workers’ compensation, it can sometimes be difficult to demonstrate the full scope of your needs. A workers’ compensation lawyer can help you file claim that presents the best possible case for your needs.
