Slips and Falls Accidents in the Workplace

Work-related accidents are inconvenient to the injured employee, their employer, and the team who are now missing an extra pair of hands to help get work done.

Everyone has a right to feel safe in their workplace and to go to work without fear of possible injury or harm occurring during the working day. Employers should take the health and safety of their employees seriously and provide a duty of care that provides a risk-free environment for each employee.

Unfortunately, not all workplaces have provided a safe working environment for their employees and according to The International Labor Organization, more than 2.3 million people experience workplace accidents every year.

Here are some examples of accidental workplace injury claims that you may find yourself needing professional advice for:

• Falls from heights where strong scaffolding, undamaged equipment, and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) have not been provided by the employer.
• Falling hazards that have caused injury or harm from not being adequately secured on steady and suitable shelving. If employees are working in a dangerous environment, PPE such as hardhats should be supplied by the employer to ensure the safety of all employees and visitors onsite.
• Slips, trips, and falls, from environments that have not been well-maintained or had risk assessments completed and procedures put in place to avoid injuries.
• Overexertion from physical and mental fatigue which may occur when continually needing to carry out tasks that your body cannot physically maintain on a repetitive level. This can include carrying large and heavy objects, pushing, pulling, and more.

The above-mentioned examples can cause serious injury and harm on a physical, mental, and financial level. Sustained injuries might include sprains, fractures, dislocations, concussions, back pain, elbow strain, neck pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, head injury, and more.  

As an employee, it is within your human rights to work within a safe environment provided by your employer and if they have not provided this for you and other employees alike, you can make an individual claim against your organization if their negligence has caused you accidental harm.

Wilton Manors Attorneys will support you with your claim and assist you to understand your rights as an injured employee.

Slips and Falls Accidents in Public Places

Depending on the circumstances of the public accident that has occurred, you may be eligible to claim for an accidental injury in a public place.

When referring to a public place in terms of slips, falls, and accidents in a public space it can include the following:

• Footpaths
• Shopping centers
• Parks
• Animal-related incidents
• Pedestrian related accidents

(If we have not listed a public place of concern for you and your accidental injury claim, please get in touch with Wilton Manors for further clarification)

There are laws in place that exist to provide the public with safe environments through administering a duty of care from businesses that supply and maintain public areas. If you have sustained an accidental injury through a clear lack of duty of care and/or negligence, you may have a reasonable case and can claim compensation.

If you have been in a public accident, we recommend you first and foremost take the following steps:

• Take photographs where the injury or accident was sustained
• Acquire information from witnesses
• Report the accident ASAP – contact Wilton Manors Attorneys for advice on where to report your accident if needed
• Seek medical attention to prove your accident through medical records
• Keep a record of all of the above as well as any expenses incurred due to your injury or accident

Here are some examples of previous cases that have gone to accidental injury claims and might be similar to your situation:

• Tripping on raised pavement slabs where there are no markings visible to advise the pedestrian to use another path
• Slipping on wet surfaces in shopping malls where there is no clear signage to indicate a wet and slippery surface
• Injury caused by damaged and broken park equipment
• Being bitten or attacked by an animal (within precise circumstances)

The above scenarios are examples of actual accidental public claims that have been submitted in the past and are made daily around the world. If you have found yourself in any of the above or likened situations, our slip and fall accident attorneys will assess your claim, your case, and your probable outcome to ascertain your most likely compensation and outcome.

How Much Compensation Can You Receive From a Slip and Fall Injury Claim?

Depending on multiple factors, including the severity of the accident and injury, any medical fees, and evidence of injury and negligence, compensation rates will differ for each case.

Here are the factors we take into consideration for compensation amounts:

• The severity of the injury
• Any medical treatment provided, medical bills paid, and future medical bills to be paid
• Home renovations needed due to serious injury
• Long-term and short-term rehabilitation financial and emotional support
• Earnings losses due to medical and extended sick leave including having to resign from the employees’ current position if no longer able to complete work tasks originally employed to carry out
• Employer’s acceptance of liability, whereby the employer agrees to accept full or partial liability for injuries incurred which will help to determine the compensation costs based on the evidence provided for your claim

According to NSC Injury Facts, the average compensation payout for accidental slips, trips, and falls, resulting in injury in the workplace in 2019 was approximately US$47,681.

Depending on your circumstance, your approved payout may be more or less than the abovementioned average.

Why You Should Hire a Professional Slip and Fall Accident Attorney?

There are numerous advantages to hiring a professional attorney to lead the legal claim in representing your case.

Here are some of the reasons you might consider hiring a professional slip and fall accident attorney:

Damage calculations

Based on the severity of the injury and loss of any income, past, present, and future, slip and fall accident attorneys can calculate all damages you can claim in compensation to ensure you are protected from any further financial loss.

Proving negligence

Skilled lawyers know where to look and how to find evidence and proof that negligence has occurred and where the client is not at fault.

Useful medical attention

Attorneys can help you to gain access to relevant medical information as well as provide you with advice on which medical paths will be useful for your claim and case if taken to court.

Decision making

Based on previous experience and current legal industry knowledge, lawyers can make decisions professionally and objectively that assist the client to make beneficial judgments.

Faster compensation

Taking your claim to an attorney can result in faster (and perhaps more) financial compensation where taking on a claim or case on your own could be taken advantage of and dragged out longer than necessary.
