What Types of Injuries Are Covered?

Most accidental workplace injuries, can be eligible for Social Security and workers’ compensation. Injuries or illness unrelated to your employment can qualify you for Social Security Disability benefits.

  • Work-related injuries include, but are not limited to, the following:
  • Injuries from negligent safety precautions, such as sprained joints or broken bones
  • Injuries that occur on an employer’s premises, even if they happened during breaks
  • Mental distress, such as anxiety or depression resulting from physical injury and pain
  • Preexisting conditions that worsened because of your accident

Can I File a Claim?

Over the years that you have been employed, you have paid into the Social Security system. Benefits are therefore available to you, if you qualify. In addition, most employers are required to maintain workers’ compensation insurance to protect employees in the case of a serious accident or injury. SSI is also available for those with limited income who are disabled.
