New Jersey Lifting Injury at Work Lawyer

One of the most common injuries New Jersey workers report are when they are lifting something on the job. Whether you are a warehouse or factory worker, delivery driver, construction worker, forklift driver, crane operator, plumber, welder, mechanic, or any number of jobs where you are often lifting heavy objects, you subject yourself to a variety of injuries.

Lifting injuries also often occur to those in the nursing/home health aide professions, who often work at hospitals/nursing home facilities; these include:

• CNAs
• Physical Therapists
• Registered Nurses (RNs)
• Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs)

Common lifting injuries New Jersey workers can sustain include:

• Back injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Neck and shoulder injuries
• Injuries to your joints, including knees (e.g., torn ligaments or tendons)
• Pinched or compressed nerve injuries
• Broken bones

You can also sustain an on-the-job injury by pulling or pushing heavy objects. If you are injured while on-the-job, you should immediately report your injury to your Supervisor, HR contact, or other company manager. If you sustain a lifting injury, you are eligible for workers’ compensation benefits in New Jersey.
