A workplace injury occurs when harm arises from job duties or work conditions. Catastrophic injuries are severe, long-lasting conditions such as spinal injuries, brain injuries, or extensive burns that change daily living and care needs.
Key steps include investigation, gathering medical records, documenting damages, identifying liable parties, negotiating settlements, and pursuing litigation when necessary to secure fair compensation.
This glossary defines common terms you may encounter during your workplace or catastrophic injury claim.
Liability refers to legal responsibility for damages caused by an accident or unsafe conditions at work.
