Because they often clean up spills, janitors, and restaurant and nursing home workers often work on or near wet surfaces, making them especially susceptible to slip-and-fall injuries.

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:

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

If you were injured in a slip-and-fall accident at work and have been forced off the job for more than seven days to treat your injuries, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits.

At Fedele & Honschke, we consult with doctors and medical specialists as well as vocational experts to determine the full extent of our clients’ injuries and the impact that their injuries have on their abilities to work. Once our lawyers know how injuries affect our clients’ lives, they work to maximize our clients’ benefits under the state’s workers’ comp laws.
