Worker’s Compensation

For many, the workplace can be a dangerous environment. When workplace injuries do occur, “worker’s compensation” is often a solution for both the company and the injured worker. Worker’s compensation is a form of insurance that is provided to the injured worker in which they are allowed medical benefits for their injury, and are paid typically two-thirds of their wages until they are able to return to work. In exchange, the worker forfeits the right to sue their employer for negligence.

Sustaining a work-related injury can be traumatic and stressful. It is often very important to individuals that they are able to return to work and continue their day-to-day activities as soon as possible. However, in order to ensure that  effective healing and recovery can begin to take place, it is crucial that those who have been injured seek effective treatment as soon as possible. At Park PT, we specialize in treating patients who have sustained work-related injuries and help patients with worker’s compensation cases on a regular basis.

Some common causes of workplace injuries can include, but are not limited to:

  • Slips, trips, and falls
  • Worker vehicle accidents
  • Overexertion (resulting from excessive pushing, carrying, pulling, lifting, and throwing etc.)
  • Repetitive motions

Some common workplace injuries can include, but are not limited to:

  • Broken bones
  • Sprains, tears, and strains, or other damage to muscles, ligaments, tendons, or nerves
  • Neck and back injuries
  • Head injuries
  • Repetitive strain injuries (such as Tendinitis or Dystonia)
