Understanding Workplace Injuries in Orlando

Workplace injuries are more common than many realize, especially in high-risk industries like construction, manufacturing, hospitality, and healthcare. Even seemingly safe environments can lead to injuries from repetitive motion, unsafe equipment, or lack of proper safety procedures. Spencer Morgan Law assists injured workers across Orlando in navigating the complex workers’ compensation system and pursuing additional claims against negligent parties when appropriate.

Common Causes of Workplace Injuries

• Falls from ladders, platforms, or scaffolds
• Heavy machinery and equipment malfunctions
• Slips, trips, and falls on unsafe surfaces
• Repetitive strain or overexertion injuries
• Exposure to harmful substances or chemicals
• Vehicle accidents while performing work duties

Our firm investigates each accident to determine fault and explore every avenue for recovery, including workers’ compensation and third-party negligence claims.

Steps to Take After a Workplace Injury

1. Report your injury to your employer immediately.
2. Request to see an approved medical provider if required by your employer’s insurance.
3. Obtain a written report of the incident and keep a copy for your records.
4. Gather witness names, photos, and any physical evidence if possible.
5. Follow your doctor’s recommendations for treatment and recovery.
6. Contact Spencer Morgan Law to ensure your claim is filed properly and your rights are protected.

Common Types of Workplace Injuries

Workplace injuries can range from mild to catastrophic, depending on the nature of the job and accident. Victims often suffer from:

• Fractures and broken bones
• Head injuries and concussions
• Spinal cord or back injuries
• Burns, cuts, and lacerations
• Joint injuries or repetitive motion disorders
• Long-term disabilities or chronic pain

Even minor injuries can worsen without proper treatment and medical documentation, which is why early legal and medical action is critical.

Compensation Available for Injured Workers

If your workplace injury was caused by negligence or unsafe conditions, you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical expenses and rehabilitation
• Lost wages and loss of earning potential
• Disability benefits or long-term care costs
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Wrongful death damages for family members of fatal workplace victims

Spencer Morgan Law works to ensure that every aspect of your damages—economic and non-economic—is accurately calculated and fully pursued.
