Trip and Fall Accidents

A trip and fall accident can cause serious injuries that make it difficult to work or even to perform the most basic daily tasks. When these accidents happen in the workplace, an injured worker has a legal right to file a claim seeking workers’ compensation benefits, regardless of whether the employer is at fault.

If you have been injured in a workplace trip and fall accident, contact the New Jersey workers’ compensation lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., at 800-346-5529 to discuss your case.

Types of Accidents

In even the safest of work environments, hazards occasionally arise that could lead to a trip and fall injury. Below is a list of common types of trip and fall accidents.

  • Stairway injuries
  • Tripping over items left in a doorway or hallway
  • Wet floor accidents
  • Tripping over boxes left on the floor
  • Tripping over remodeling debris

While a trip and fall accident may seem like a minor incident, it can lead to very serious injuries. A worker who tries to break a fall may suffer a sprain or broken bones. Injuries to a worker’s legs or arms could prevent them from working until the injury has healed. In extreme cases, an employee could suffer head trauma or a spinal cord injury in a trip and fall accident. Receiving workers’ compensation may be the only way for a worker to sustain himself or herself while an injury is healing.
