Nurse Injury Attorneys

Nursing is one of the fastest-growing and most in-demand professions in the United States. But with this profession and the increasing number of patients in American hospital beds, nursing homes, and residential treatment facilities, nursing injuries are on the rise. Nursing Injury News is your one-stop shop for information and resources related to nursing injuries including equipment and appliance injuries, physical assault, exertion and bed transfer injury/lifting injuries, injuries due to hazardous substances, MRSA, slips and falls, and more.

Nursing is by its nature a very physical profession, but that doesn't mean you have to stand for injury sustained while on the job. If you are injured, either alone or by a patient or other worker in your facility, while performing your nursing duties, you may be eligible for workers compensation and/or damages in a civil lawsuit related to your nursing injuries.

All too often, workplace safety is neglected in patient-centered treatment facilities. While the patients have a reasonable expectation of quality care and conscientious treatment, that does not reduce an employer's burden to create a safe and healthy workplace for all medical staff, including nurses. Sometimes, nursing injury occurs due to violent patient assault or an unpreventable accident, but nursing injury unfortunately also occurs when employers do not provide a safe workplace for their staff. In all of these circumstances, you need to act on your own behalf and claim your legal rights to compensation and care for your on-the-job nursing injuries.

If you've been injured in your role as a nurse, whether in a home or treatment facility setting, you need an experienced professional on your behalf. The right nursing injury attorney can help assess your case, determine what damages you are owed, and file a lawsuit on your behalf claiming compensation for your nursing injury. You could be eligible for compensation related to pain and suffering, medical and psychiatric treatment, ongoing care, and even vocational rehabilitation.
