Injured on the Job as a Healthcare Worker? MHK Attorneys Can Help.

Healthcare workers dedicate their lives to helping others, but their jobs come with significant risks. From lifting injuries to exposure to infectious diseases, workplace hazards can lead to serious health issues. If you’ve been injured while working in a hospital, clinic, or other medical facility, you may be entitled to compensation. At MHK Attorneys, we specialize in helping injured healthcare professionals secure the benefits they deserve.

Common Healthcare Worker Injuries

Healthcare professionals face a wide range of job-related risks. Some of the most common workplace injuries include:

• Musculoskeletal Injuries – Strains, sprains, and herniated discs from lifting patients or heavy equipment.
• Needlestick Injuries – Accidental punctures that can expose workers to bloodborne pathogens.
• Slip and Fall Accidents – Wet floors and cluttered workspaces can lead to serious falls and fractures.
• Infectious Disease Exposure – Direct contact with contagious patients can result in severe illnesses.
• Violence-Related Injuries – Attacks from patients or visitors can cause physical and emotional trauma.
• Chemical Exposure – Handling hazardous substances may lead to burns, respiratory issues, or long-term health problems.

If you’ve suffered any of these injuries, you have the right to seek compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.

Know Your Legal Rights as a Healthcare Worker

Under Pennsylvania law, injured healthcare workers can file for workers’ compensation benefits. These benefits cover medical costs, lost income, and rehabilitation expenses. If your injury resulted from negligence—such as inadequate training, faulty equipment, or employer misconduct—you may also be eligible to file a personal injury claim for additional compensation.
