From Allentown to
Easton, Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley has many kinds
of work environments
Outsiders associate Allentown
with closed factories, but as locals we know better.
Today, Lehigh Valley Hospital and Health Network and
St. Luke’s Hospital and Health Network are the
largest employers in the area. On-the-job accidents
happen everywhere, even in hospitals. Lehigh
Valley’s many employers include:
- Hospitals and medical centers
- Food stores
- Pharmaceutical companies
- Trucking companies
- Casinos and other tourist attractions
- Warehouses, shipping and logistics companies
- Factories
- Farms
Each of these settings has
unique dangers. Whether you fall on a slippery
floor, or are exposed to a dangerous chemical in a
pharmaceutical setting, we take your illness and
injury seriously.
Workplace
accidents can cause catastrophic injuries
Although the nature of each
person’s needs differ, workplace injuries and
illnesses, may include:
- Amputation — A catastrophic error can
result in losing a limb.
- Back or neck injury —Injuries to this
region can mean chronic pain, nerve issues or even
paralysis.
- Brain injury or head trauma —Concussions
and other traumatic brain injury (TBI) can impact
many functions, including executive functions.
- Broken bones — Permanent partial or
complete loss of movement may impede your ability to
work in your field.
- Burns, scars and disfigurement — Whether
your burn resulted from a fire, chemical exposure or
another accident, medical care for skin injuries can
be painful, if available.
- Loss of sight or blindness — Losing your
sight impacts your ability to work and may reduce
your ability to live independently.
- Mental health injury or impairment due to
stress — Many situations may seem “safe” from
physical injury, but stress caused by unreasonable
supervisors or a toxic work environment can result
in mental anguish.
- Nerve damage — Lacerations, spinal cord
injuries and broken bones may lead to permanent
nerve loss.
- Occupational diseases — Although
asbestos-related illnesses are becoming less
prevalent, other jobs, like hydraulic fracturing
or “fracking”,can
result in exposure to toxic chemicals. As fracking
grows in Pennsylvania and along the Marcellus Shale,
more locals are finding work in this dangerous
environment. Chemical or other exposure can cause:
- Lung
cancer and other diseases
-
Cancers due to chemical exposures
-
Mesothelioma and asbestosis
-
Cancer due to radiation in a medical setting
- Spinal cord injury or paralysis — If a
workplace accident caused paralysis, your costs far
exceed loss of movement and independence. Severe
spinal cord injuries impact your entire family, your
livelihood and cause huge expenses.
