Types of Catastrophic Injuries that Can Occur in a Workplace

Workplaces can be a hazardous environment, and when these conditions lead to catastrophic injury, it’s essential that workers are aware of their rights. Depending on the situation, victims may be eligible for workers’ compensation. At Gaines & Gaines, our catastrophic injury attorneys specialize in helping California workers who have suffered catastrophic injuries while on the job. 

The types of catastrophic injuries that can occur in a workplace include but are not limited to: 

• Spinal Cord Injuries: These injuries can cause permanent paralysis, loss of sensation and reflexes in any part of the body below the site of injury. Additionally, spinal cord injuries often result in a range of physical disabilities such as difficulty walking or breathing, loss of bladder or bowel control, chronic pain, and more. 
• Traumatic Brain Injuries: These injuries occur when an external force damages the brain and can result in several issues such as short-term memory problems, motor impairments, impaired balance and coordination, communication difficulties, and changes in behavior or personality. 
• Musculoskeletal Injuries: Musculoskeletal injuries refer to damage caused to muscles and bones due to strain or overexertion which can lead to long-term disability and chronic pain if not treated properly. Common musculoskeletal injuries include rotator cuff tears, tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and lower back issues. 
• Crush Injuries: Crush injuries occur when heavy objects are dropped onto the body or limbs leading to severe crushing trauma which can cause tissue destruction as well as nerve damage resulting in long-term disability or even amputation. 
• Burns: Burns are one of the most common catastrophic injuries in the workplace and are often caused by hazardous chemicals or dangerous equipment. They can cause severe tissue damage and scarring, as well as respiratory issues due to smoke inhalation. In more extreme cases, burns can cause organ failure, amputations, and even death.
• Vision Loss: Vision loss is a devastating form of catastrophic injury which can be caused by exposure to dangerous chemicals and other workplace accidents. Vision loss can range from mild to total blindness depending on the severity of the injury and may lead to a lifetime of disability and dependence on assistive devices.
