People rely on nurses to get through troubling times, but all too often, nurses become the patients. Job hazards abound in the nursing profession. When an injury or occupational disease strikes, however, many nurses meet resistance when seeking the workers’ compensation benefits they are entitled to.
Whether you work in a hospital, nursing home, clinic, or surgical center, for an in-home medical provider, or in any other setting, you deserve compensation for your medical bills and wage loss. At Sawers & Sackel PLLC, our Buffalo workers’ compensation attorneys can help because we have focused our careers on this area of law. This is all we do, and we do it well.
How Were You Injured?
Nurses are exposed to job hazards daily. Some of the most common nursing injuries occur due to:
- Back injuries from lifting patients
- Slip-and-fall accidents on hospital floors
- Exposure to germs and harmful chemicals
- Accidents involving needles, scalpels, and other medical instruments
Even when you follow all of the safety protocols, accidents can occur. Sometimes, patients act unpredictably, so even the best lifting procedure can result in a back or neck injury. Avoiding hazards is even more difficult if you work in a fast-paced environment such as an emergency room.
