Can a Victim of an Accident in the Medical Field Submit a Workers’ Compensation Claim?
Just like any other field, medical staff can fall victim to personal injury as well. Medical facilities are required to provide a safe environment for their staff just as they are to their patients. If you were injured on the job at a medical facility, do not hesitate to submit an Illinois workers’ compensation claim with an Illinois personal injury attorney today.
The Most Common Injuries in the Medical Field
Nurses especially work long hours, sometimes even over 21 hours. This fatigue often contributes to Illinois nurses’ injuries on the job. In addition to these long hours, medical facilities are filled with equipment that if not properly placed, a staff member can trip over. Medical facilities are also filled with substances that can sometimes spill and cause a staff member who is in a rush to get to their next patient to slip and fall. Such falls can be detrimental to the future of a medical career as well as cause serious pain both physically and mentally. Fortunately, Illinois law protects employees who are hurt on the job if the company or facility are proven to be at fault.
