The number of workplace injuries in 2023 for Washington State was 579. Not a day goes by without someone getting injured in their workplace and no one should have to fear for their safety or get injured at their place of work.
The Washington State Department of Industries has evaluated what industries workers are getting injured in by utilizing hospital information and workers’ compensation data.
Their findings show that construction workers are three times more likely to get hospitalized than workers from other industries. Employees who work in agriculture, transportation, and warehouses are also hospitalized at a higher rate than the average worker.
It is your employer’s responsibility to keep you safe on the job whether you work in construction or in an office. If you have been injured at work, it is important to speak to an experienced workplace injury attorney as soon as possible.
