What Are Common Workplace Injuries We See In Des Moines?

Des Moines is home to a diverse workforce, and work injuries can happen across every industry. Our attorneys regularly represent workers in a wide range of sectors, including:

  • Warehousing and distribution: Delivery driver accidents, forklift and pallet jack incidents, falling objects, and slips and falls rank among the most common injuries in this physically demanding environment.
  • Insurance and financial services: Office workers frequently face repetitive stress injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome as well as neck and back pain from prolonged sitting and poorly configured workstations. Slips and falls on poorly maintained premises also occur.
  • Healthcare: Workers in medical facilities often face overexertion and strains from lifting and handling patients, slips and falls, exposure to biohazards and medical waste, and the risk of injury from aggressive or disoriented patients.
  • Manufacturing and food processing: Heavy machinery creates serious risks, including crushing injuries, lacerations and amputations. Workers also face strains from heavy lifting, repetitive motion injuries from assembly line work and hearing loss from long exposure to loud noises at the job site.

Whatever your industry, if you suffered work injuries on the job, you may have the right to file a workers’ comp claim.

When A Third Party Is Responsible For Your Work Injury

Not every workplace accident involves only your employer. When a third party, such as a negligent driver, equipment manufacturer or property owner, contributes to your serious injury, you may have grounds for a personal injury claim in addition to your workers’ comp benefits.

These claims can significantly increase your total recovery. Visit our Workers’ Compensation page to find answers to frequently asked questions.
