The Different Types of Work-Related Foot Injuries

Foot injuries are among the many common types of injuries involved in workers’ compensation claims. These injuries can result from either a one-time accident or developed over time due to repeated stress or other causes. The foot comprises multiple joints, muscles, and tendons, all of which are vulnerable to injury, particularly when used in environments where they can become trapped or sustain crushes.

Some common types of foot injuries include:

  • Crushes and broken feet along with amputation of toes or feet resulting from moving vehicles, falling objects, conveyor belts, or trapped feet caught between objects or in cracks.
  • Punctures in the sole of the foot caused by sharp metal, loose nails, or glass
  • Burns from molten metal, chemicals, fire, explosions, or electricity
  • Electric shocks from either static electricity or contact with electrical equipment
  • Cuts or severed toes or feet resulting from rotary mowers, chainsaws, unguarded machinery, or other sharp blades
  • Twisted or sprained ankles, or bone fractures resulting from slips and falls on slippery flooring, walkways, or due to insufficient safety footwear or poor lighting

Many types of foot injuries will require treatment through minimally invasive measures at first, which can include rest, medication, and physical therapy, among others. However, foot surgery may be required if these treatments don’t work, resulting in more recovery time along with more expenses.
