Here For Victims Of All Types Of Workplace Injuries And Illnesses

Workplace injuries are far from unheard of here in Arkansas. According to state statistics, in 2023, Arkansas saw 1.9 non-fatal injuries/illnesses per 100 workers in the private sector. Such injuries can vary greatly, affecting workers’ lives in many ways. Fortunately, workers’ compensation benefits are available for most on-the-job injuries and illnesses. At my Little Rock law firm of Daniel A. Webb, PA, I help workers in Pulaski County pursue such benefits. As a seasoned workplace injury lawyer, I am ready to safeguard your livelihood and dignity when you have been hurt on the job. 

Traumatic Work Injuries

These are sudden and severe physical injuries tied to a specific work accident. Common types of traumatic injuries include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Fractures
  • Loss of limb

These workplace injuries can happen in many different ways, including through falls, machinery accidents, vehicle collisions or construction accidents. They can change your life in a second. Getting proper workers’ compensation benefits can be the key to helping you bounce back from such injuries.

Workplace Repetitive Stress Injuries

These injuries develop over time due to repeated movements or strain. They include things like:

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Tendinitis
  • Bursitis
  • Rotator cuff injuries

Repetitive stress injuries are prevalent in fields like manufacturing and office work. They can lead to chronic pain and decreased function. They are eligible for workers’ compensation in Arkansas, but demonstrating that the injuries are work-related can be challenging. 

Occupational Diseases

Such diseases arise from exposure to harmful substances or environments at work. There are many different kinds, including:

  • Asbestosis
  • Silicosis
  • Hearing loss
  • Respiratory diseases

Fields like mining, construction and chemical manufacturing can see unique risk factors when it comes to such workplace harm. Occupational disease can have many long-term health effects and, in some instances, can be fatal. Arkansas does extend workers’ comp coverage to occupational diseases. However, difficulties can arise when it comes to trying to prove an occupational disease claim. 

Work-Related Psychological Conditions

Psychological conditions in the workplace can stem from stress, trauma or harassment. Common types include:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

It is important to note that Arkansas puts restrictions on when individuals can receive workers’ comp benefits for work-related mental/psychological conditions. Generally, the condition must have been caused by a physical injury suffered at work. Also, state law caps the length of time a worker can get disability benefits for such an injury to 26 weeks.
