Workers’ Comp Benefits After A Fall At Work

Faulty handrails, uneven floors, unsafe stairways, slippery floors and other dangerous workplace conditions can cause slip-and-fall accidents at work, leaving workers with serious physical pain. Common slip-and-fall and trip-and-fall injuries include:

  • Back and neck injuries, such as slipped, herniated or bulging disks
  • Leg and knee injuries
  • Head injuries, concussions and traumatic brain injuries
