Nurses Are on the Frontlines—But Who’s There When They’re Hurt?
Nursing is one of the most physically and emotionally demanding professions. Nurses often suffer workplace injuries from lifting patients, slip and falls, needle sticks, or even violent encounters. When a nurse is injured on the job, they deserve proper care—and full workers’ compensation benefits.
At Pisanchyn Law Firm, our experienced workers comp lawyers fight for injured nurses across Pennsylvania. If you’re a nurse injured on the job, we’re here to help protect your health, your job, and your future.
Common Nursing-Related Workplace Injuries
Even in non-emergency settings, nurses are exposed to daily risks, including:
-
Back and shoulder injuries from lifting and transferring patients
-
Slip and fall accidents in fast-paced hospital or nursing home environments
-
Needle sticks and exposure to infectious diseases
-
Repetitive strain injuries from charting or standing long hours
-
Assaults by patients or those under the influence
These injuries can lead to chronic pain, lost wages, and time away from work—making workers’ comp crucial.
