Columbia, SC personal injury attorney Mark D. Chappell talks about the most common workplace injuries. The most common workplace injuries frequently involve lifting back injuries, which typically result from employees being required to lift excessive weight or work in unsafe conditions. Additionally, many on-the-job injuries occur among truck drivers involved in collisions, as well as factory workers who may be run over by co-workers operating tow motors. These cases are among the most frequently encountered in workplace injury claims.
