Across national and state-based workers' compensation systems, the top five most frequent and costly injury claims typically include manual handling and lifting injuries resulting in lower back strains, slips, trips, and falls on the same level leading to sprains or fractures, being struck by moving or falling objects, repetitive strain injuries (RSI) and musculoskeletal disorders from overexertion, and mental health or psychological stress claims stemming from workplace pressure or trauma. These categories consistently account for the vast majority of lost-time claims, medical payouts, and long-term rehabilitation expenses across all major industries.
