Certain careers pose higher risks for workers than others. Nurses and construction workers, for example, often suffer from back injuries. Some back injuries occur suddenly. Others develop over time after a person has repeatedly strained his or her body through lifting heavy loads. When an injury occurs on the job or is caused by work activities, workers’ compensation provides a safety net, paid for by insurance premiums the employer has been paying. At the same time, the employer is usually protected from litigation.
