There are a lot of reasons someone might slip and fall, whether they’re out shopping or running errands or find themselves slipping and falling in the workplace. Even a seemingly minor slip and fall can lead to serious injury that costs time and money in doctor’s visits, medical treatment, and potentially even time off work to allow the injury to fully heal. If someone is injured as a result of slipping and falling in a public place or the workplace, the owner of the property the injury occurred on, or the business owner, may be liable for those injuries. In the case of an on-the-job slip and fall injury, individuals filing a Workers’ Compensation claim may be able to recover costs associated with treatment for and recovery from their injury.
