Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries in Workplace Accidents

Spinal cord injuries can happen in any type of workplace accident. However, there are certain common incidents that occur in the workplace and that are likely to cause damage to the spine. According to the Liberty Mutual 2011 Workplace Safety Index, the following were among the top 10 causes of disabling work injuries in 2009:

  • Falls on the same level or falls to a lower level
  • Involvement in an accident on the highway
  • Injuries resulting from being compressed in or caught by something
  • Workplace assault or violence

These top causes of workplace injuries are all likely to result in damage to the spine. For example, even a fall from a relatively low height can cause a severe spinal injury depending on the angle at which you hit the ground. When these or other injuries happen either on the job site or when you are performing some type of required work duty off-site, workers’ compensation benefits can kick in. This is true even if you were careless and even if your employer wasn’t negligent, since workers’ compensation makes employers liable for every work-related injury regardless of who was at fault.
