Office Accident Claims
Working in an office can be a safe and enjoyable experience, but there are always risks of accidents occurring. One of the most common office accidents is trips and falls, which can often be caused by loose cords or cluttered work surfaces.
Other risks include ergonomic injuries from poor posture or repetitive movements, and eye strain from staring at screens for long periods of time. While most office accidents are relatively minor, they can still lead to discomfort and lost productivity.
Office accidents are surprisingly common, and they can happen in any type of office setting. Whether you work in a traditional office building or a more modern coworking space.
