Helping Injured Teachers Obtain Compensation
Facing a room filled with children or teens every day is no easy task. Teachers often find themselves caught between students, parents and administrators in an increasingly difficult environment. In addition to the daily stress of teaching, educators are also at risk for other types of injury. Unfortunately, many injured teachers do not know where to turn for help.

We can also help you pursue compensation for your losses through a third-party claim and, when applicable, Social Security Disability Insurance.

Dangers in the Classroom
Teachers may suffer many of the same injuries as office workers, including carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive stress injuries. They may also be injured in slip-and-fall accidents on school grounds. A slip-and-fall can result in broken bones, brain injuries and injuries to the neck and back.
Exposure to toxins, asbestos, poor indoor air quality, excessive noise and other environmental problems can cause a range of dangerous occupational diseases.
One of the greatest dangers to teachers comes from their students. Teachers are at risk for violence, whether they are breaking up a fight between students or are assaulted by a student. If a weapon is involved, injuries may be catastrophic or fatal.
