Occupational Illnesses & Healthcare Work

Health workers can suffer a number of workplace and work-related injuries depending on where they are employed. The most likely scenario for a health worker, though, is contracting an occupational illness or disease. In simple terms, an occupational illness is a sickness or health condition a worker contracts due to their employment. Needing to spend time near, around, or with ill patients is a job duty many health workers cannot avoid. If they get sick due to their duties, they are likely able to file for workers’ compensation benefits.

​

Your workers’ compensation benefits as a health worker should:

• Pay for any medical costs related to your own treatment.

• Provide some of your normal wages as you recover.

• Help prove eligibility for Social Security Disability if the illness is chronic.
