Examples of work-related injuries that are typically covered under workers comp include:

• Specific Injuries: Harm caused by a single, sudden accident or incident on the job site.
• Long-Term Injuries: Conditions that develop gradually over time, often from repetitive motions or routine work activities.
• Stress-Related Injuries/Illnesses: Mental or emotional strain, such as stress or anxiety, brought on by job duties or the work environment.
• Occupational Diseases: Health issues caused by exposure to chemicals or hazardous substances at work, including industrial materials or even certain cleaning products.
