In turn, if the back injury involves a herniated disc, employees may require accommodations to their job, months of therapy or perhaps long-term disability or impairment.
Without question, an on the job back injury is costly for the employee. Unable to perform regular job tasks, workers may even experience difficulty participating in simple activities with their families or gaining employment in the future.
