Overexertion is said to be themost common cause of injuries at the workplace, and with people working longer and longer hours, overexertion may happen to almost every one of us, whether or not you exercise on a daily basis. When the body is pushed to its limit, it may break: this is seen in a number of ways such as strains, sprains, pulls and contusions which may then mean time off work. It is important to understand that the government safety agency OSHA is on your side due to the fact that it instituted various workplace safety regulations that employers must enforce in order to keep their workers safe. Should this not happen, and an employee gets injured via overexertion, you may be eligible for compensation by way of filing an overexertion work lawsuit, and we’re here to help with that.

How and Where Do Overexertion Injuries Occur?
Overexertion injuries usually happen when one is lifting an object, or pulling it or pushing it. However, overexertion can happen when one works long hours without taking a mandated break as this can interfere with a person’s decision-making process, making it so that they are more likely to be clumsy and hurt themselves. Those in industries such as healthcare may also overexert themselves on account of lifting different sized patients at odd angles, as well as those working in factories and warehouses that have to repeat the same motion over and over again for the entire day.
