Under LC 3208, 'injury' includes which of the following items arising out of employment?

• A. Dentures
• B. All of the above
• C. Eyeglasses only
• D. Hearing aids only

Answer: (B)

Under LC 3208, “injury” covers more than just harm to body parts; it includes the replacement or repair of certain personal items that workers need to perform their job. Dentures, eyeglasses, and hearing aids are specifically included because a work-related injury or impairment may require these items to be replaced or repaired for the employee to continue working. When these devices are damaged or become necessary due to an incident arising out of employment, the costs fall within the injury claim. Since all three categories are covered, the correct choice is that all of the above are included. This ensures workers aren’t left bearing the cost for essential assistive devices tied to a work-related injury.
