Common long-term workplace illnesses

A long-term workplace illness or injury is any illness or injury expected to last at least 12 months or which is expected to result in a permanent disability. Some of the most serious long-term workplace illnesses and injuries we deal with at our law firm include:

  • Asbestos exposure - Being exposed to asbestos fibers has been linked to mesothelioma, a form of cancer. Breathing in asbestos can be very harmful and can occur when doing construction or demolition work in older buildings.
  • Back, hip, shoulder, knee elbow and hip injuries - Over time, lifting heavy objects can result in serious injuries and chronic pain in the back, hips, shoulders, knees or elbows. Such injuries are especially common among construction workers, hospital and clinic workers, and factory employees.
  • Blindness - Loss of sight is a rare but serious work-related injury. Blindness due to an injury sustained on the job can occur due to an explosion, fire or a severe burn - injuries that sometimes occur among welders, construction workers and factory workers.
  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - Performing the same task can result in this painful medical condition in the arms and hands. Carpal tunnel syndrome's due to a pinched nerve in the wrist, often due to overwork.
  • Hearing Loss - Loss of hearing at work is a common, serious injury sustained on the job. Long-term exposure to loud machinery or a sudden explosion can cause permanent hearing loss.
  • Heart attack - Strenuous physical labor, constant stress and other physically-demanding work can result in a work-related heart attack. As a result, this type of injury can impact almost any worker at any time.
