Restaurant Worker Injuries
For many families, eating out at restaurants is a luxury, and for others it is a way of life. But for the workers who spend long hours on their feet in a dining establishment, it is the place where an often thankless job frequently exposes them to a significant risk of occupational injury or illness. Hosts, servers, bartenders, cooks, and managers are all in danger of suffering debilitating accidents that can leave them in need of medical attention. North Carolina workers’ compensation law provides a mechanism by which they can seek financial benefits to address needs that arise.
It is important that you do everything possible to avoid making mistakes as you file your workers’ compensation claim, because those mistakes can result in the economically painful delay of your benefit payments. Retaining the services of an experienced attorney can make all the difference. Contact the Raleigh workers’ compensation lawyers of Scudder & Hedrick, P.L.L.C., at 919-851-3311.
Common Restaurant Dangers
The threats to which a restaurant worker is exposed will depend largely upon both the type of establishment in which he or she works and the duties of a specific position. But it is important that all employees remain alert for factors that could increase the likelihood of a harmful accident. This is because a restaurant worker may suffer:
- Amputations
- Severe Burns
- Severe Lacerations
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (Slip and Fall Accidents)
- Sprains and Strains
- Bone Fractures
