Florida On the Job Injuries Covered by Workers Compensation
Workers compensation covers most injuries a person can sustain while working, including injuries incurred through ones own fault. It does not, however, cover injuries sustained while the worker was intoxicated or under the effect of illegal drugs. Nor does workers compensation cover injuries sustained in the course of a crime. Some of the more common injuries workers compensation does cover are:
• Worsened preexisting injuries, such as back injuries
• Diseases contracted in the workplace due to repeated or prolonged exposure to dangerous substances such as asbestos causing Mesothelioma
• Mental or physical work-related stress
• Injuries caused by machinery
• Slip and fall accidents
• Repetitive stress injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome
Injuries sustained during breaks, lunch hours, and while at company-sponsored events are all covered by workers compensation.
