Nursing Care Injuries
Most people don't think of nursing as a hazardous job, but in 25 years of practice attorney Gene Borgstahl has seen the full spectrum of injuries common to nurses, support staff and doctors, including:
- Herniated disc or other back injury from lifting patients
- Falling accidents
- Physical assaults by patients
- Medical equipment injuries
- Hepatitis or other disease from exposure to infected blood
A back injury can result in crippling pain and limited mobility that prevents the person from returning to work or performing certain duties. It is important to be seen by the right doctors to get a proper diagnosis and treatment protocol to prevent further injury, especially if surgery is needed. Some employers will downplay the injury and pressure the health care worker back to work prematurely. Others will look for reasons to terminate a nurse who is restricted to light duty after a workplace accident.
Mr. Borgstahl will represent you in all claims, hearings and appeals to help you get the medical, wage loss and long-term disability benefits you are entitled to receive. We represent both union and non-union nurses, and can explain your rights and the special rules and ramifications if you are a union member.
