Work accidents usually cause all types of injuries, from the mildest to the most severe, depending on the labor sector in which they occur. Many of them can even lead the worker to receive a permanent disability status, as a consequence of work-related injuries that affect their ability to perform essential work tasks.
Cases of permanent disability, although they tend to be limited, are usually common especially in sectors such as construction, in which injuries suffered by workers due to work accidents tend to be much more severe.

In what cases is permanent disability discussed?
If you are a victim of a work accident, and as a result you suffer injuries so severe that they may prevent you from returning normally to your work activities, your doctor may determine the permanent disability status, which means you will not be able to resume the same tasks you performed before the accident occurred, due to some health condition caused by the accident. In these cases, you will be entitled to receive a pension that should cover each of the expenses that may arise from your disability situation, and that you cannot afford due to the fact that you cannot work normally.

What work injuries can cause permanent disability?
There are many types of injuries that can cause permanent disability in a worker, depending also on the magnitude of the injury and the medical care the worker receives after the accident occurs.
Some of the main work injuries that can cause permanent disability are the following:
Spinal cord injuries
When a work accident causes spinal cord injuries, the worker runs the risk of suffering injuries so severe that they may prevent movement of the legs or any other limb, creating an automatic temporary disability to perform work activities.
Brain contusions
Brain injuries can cause irreparable damage to the victim, and in the worst cases death. For this reason, depending on the severity of the case, a doctor may determine permanent disability for a worker who suffers brain contusions from work accidents.
Fractures
While fractures in most cases can be injuries whose recovery takes a few weeks, there are certain cases in which the damages tend to be permanent, preventing the worker from resuming their work activities with complete normalcy.
Hemorrhages
Among the most dangerous work-related injuries, hemorrhages tend to be among the main ones. These can cause serious damage to the worker, even affecting other vital organs such as the heart, brain or kidneys, which would directly lead to permanent disability.
Work-related illnesses
In many cases, the constant exposure of a worker to a specific work task can cause them diseases that, over time, can generate serious conditions in the worker, which prevent them from continuing with their regular activities at their workplace.
