Nurses Are Essential Employees and Face Common Dangers Every Day On-The-Job

workers compensation Glenwood Springs, Colorado

Nurses have dangerous jobs even when we don’t have a pandemic going on. In today’s climate, the risks on the job are even greater. Nurses are essential employees and deserve to have their worker’s compensation rights featured.

Some of the most dangerous tasks on-the-job for nurses include:

Moving & Lifting Patients

Nurses aren’t body builders. Well, some may be, but most nurses find lifting patients on a daily basis a challenge. Moving patients incorrectly can cause back pain and lead to injury. 

Allergen & Chemical Exposure

Allergic to latex or other substances? Often these items can cause skin irritation and lead to dermatitis. Nurses are also at an increased risk for chemical exposure due to radiation and chemotherapy drugs.

COVID-19 and Other Infectious Diseases

Did your work have the necessary personal protective equipment on hand during the COVID-19 outbreak? Nurses can be exposed to other infectious illnesses during their workday like HIV, and tuberculosis. 

One thing that nurses should never do is ignore their injuries to continue caring for their patients. You can't properly care for another person if you aren't in the shape to do so safely. Instead, get the care you need for your injuries so you'll be able to return to caring for your patients once you've healed. You may need to seek workers' compensation coverage to help cover the costs of care and provide you with partial wage replacement until you can return to work.

"Kaufman and Kaufman was extremely professional in my case. They set appointments as often as I requested which was often weekly or more. They handled all the problems that came up and ended up settling my case for more than I expected. I was very happy with the result."

"Kaufman and Kaufman represented me in a workman’s comp case and I couldn’t be happier with their service. They were very professional and gave me the personal service I was relying on. I hope I never get in that kind of situation again but if I do the Kaufman’s would be the firm I’d call. I highly recommend them."

- Erik (2022)

"Couldn't have asked for a more compassionate and thorough legal representation! Matt was so patient in taking the time to explain everything. The entire staff was incredible. I felt bolstered and validated throughout. I would recommend K&K to anyone going through a dark time with a debilitating injury.. they truly do care about their clients."

- Jessica C. (2022)

"The Kaufmans are a family owned firm that I highly recommend! They have always acted with integrity and intent to help people as best they can. You can trust them and I have dealt with the Kaufmans for a number of years now."

- JB (2022)

"The Kaufman team is very professional and knowledgeable about the work comp laws . They guided me in every step of the process, and if I ever have to do this again , they would be my first call. Without them i wouldn't have been able to pay my bills, and provide for my family. Thanks again to Kaufman and Kaufman for allowing my family to survive."
