Falls can easily lead to workplace injuries

Being safe is a point of pride for numerous people in many situations. Of course, individuals cannot always predict how other people will act, and it is not unusual for the actions of others to cause harm. In some cases, individuals may be on the job when someone else causes an accident that leads to workplace injuries.

California readers may be interested in an accident that recently took place in another state. Reports indicated that a woman working at a recycling center was on a ladder when the ladder was hit by a vehicle. It was unclear how the incident took place exactly, but the woman fell off the ladder and hit her head as a result. It was reported that the fall was approximately 10 feet.

The incident occurred around 7:20 a.m., and emergency personnel responded to the scene. The woman had to be taken from the site to a trauma center by a medical helicopter. Her condition was not known at the time of the report, and it was unclear what specific injuries she may have suffered in the accident.

When workplace injuries occur, injured parties may immediately want to know their options when it comes to workers’ compensation. In some cases, these benefits may not be easy to obtain, and California workers may want to gain information on the steps for applying and what to do when delays or denials take place. Working with knowledgeable attorneys may help concerned parties ensure that they understand their options for dealing with any challenges that may arise.
