Your employer is required by law to provide each worker with information regarding work-related injuries, illnesses, and reporting procedures.

The experienced attorneys at Wilson, Reives, Silverman & Doran are ready to represent residents of Cameron, NC facing workers’ compensation or personal injury cases. 

Workplace injuries most common to Cameron, NC residents:

Slip & Fall

When an employee slips and falls down on the job, they are at risk of tearing a ligament, fracturing bones, injuring their head, or even spraining their muscles. Most often these types of accidents are a result of leaks, unattended spills, or even floors that were still wet after an area has been cleaned.

Repetitive Motion

Workers who maintain awkward positions over long periods of time without a break and those who repeat the same motion continuously are at risk of developing repetitive motion injuries. One such example is if a data-entry worker develops carpal tunnel syndrome due to typing on a keyboard for extended hours every week.

Work-Related Vehicular Accident

Even if you are out of the office or not working in a fixed structure, you are still at risk. If you drive on behalf of a business or are in a vehicle for any work-related reason while on the clock and you are in an accident, your personal injury can be classified as work-related.

Dropped or Falling Objects

Items that are dropped from any height or those that fall on an employee may result in broken bones, concussions, cuts, and more.

Chemicals & Biohazards

Any workplace that handles hazardous chemicals or deals with biohazards puts their employees at the risk of suffering various injuries, such as skin irritation, burns, and even eye irritation.
