Types Of Work Related Injuries

An accident at work is defined as an external, sudden, unexpected, unintended, and violent event, during the execution of work or arising out of it, which causes damage to the health of or loss of the life of the employee (the insured).

For qualification as a work related injury to apply, there must be a causal relationship (direct or indirect relationship of cause and effect) between the violent event and the work. Only if the accident is due to "willful misrepresentation" on the part of the employer or the employer's appointed representative is the employer under an obligation to compensate the victim. Under U.S. law, injured workers are often compensated according to the type of injury, rather than permitting them to sue the employer for the actual damages.

There is a significant proportion of work accidents occurring in the merchant marine.

* Burns are injuries caused by excess heat or sometimes cold (frostbite).
* Fractures are injuries to bones.
* Wound: cuts and grazes are injuries to the skin, that can cause bleeding (i.e. a laceration).
* A bruise is a hemorrhage under the skin caused by contusion.
* Damage to a person's sense of self-worth can be considered an emotional injury. An example is harm to one's perception of her or his gender resulting from sexual harassment, which is considered a form of violence.
