Workers’ Compensation For High-Risk Occupations

While workers can sustain injuries in any type of job, those in high-risk occupations have a higher chance of something happening that affects their well-being and long-term health. The careers with increased risk include firefighters, law enforcement officers, construction workers, doctors and nurses, and utility service professionals. If you work in any of these or other dangerous fields, you need the protection of workers’ compensation in case anything unexpected happens.

Unfortunately, some companies or organizations who employ people in these roles have the erroneous belief that workers should accept the risk and not make claims if an injury or other health problem occurs.
