Workplace Injury Treatment in Cape May County, NJ
A work injury occurs when an employee is hurt while completing a task on behalf of their employer. This can happen in the workplace, in a company-owned vehicle, or wherever the employee is performing work-related duties. Common causes include heavy lifting, repetitive motion, overexertion, trips and falls, contact with moving objects, and exposure to harmful substances.
If you were injured on the job and your injury is life-threatening, you should call 911 immediately or go directly to the nearest hospital ER. Also, regardless of the severity of your injury, you should notify your employer as soon as possible and no later than 30 days after the date of your accident. Be sure to follow your employer’s instructions for filing a workers’ compensation claim, which may include seeing their designated healthcare provider for workplace injury treatment.
