Columbia, SC personal injury attorney Mark D. Chappell talks about the most common workplace injuries. He shares that the most common workplace injuries often involve lifting-related back injuries, typically caused by employees being required to handle excessive weight or perform tasks under unsafe conditions. In addition, truck drivers frequently sustain injuries in collisions while on the job. Factory workers also face significant risks, including being struck or run over by co-workers operating tow motors and other machinery. These types of incidents, he notes, are among the most frequent sources of workplace injury claims.
