Slip and Fall Injuries at Work

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

If you are involved in a slip-and-fall injury at work, you cannot sue your employer under state personal injury laws. Work-related injuries, instead, would be covered under your state’s workers’ compensation laws.

Types Of Slip And Fall Compensation In NJ

Compensation for a Slip-and-Fall Injury – If you are injured in a slip-and-fall accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Past, current, and future medical bills associated with the slip-and-fall injury
  • Lost wages if you were unable to work while recovering from the injury
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property that was damaged (such as broken glasses) during the accident

Comparative Liability

The court will look at each party’s comparative liability (in other words, how much responsibility the injured party bears and how much responsibility the property owner bears for the injury). This percentage of liability is then used to calculate how much the property owner must pay in damages or compensation to the injured party and how much of the cost the injured party will have to bear.

Many slip-and-fall injuries occur because the person or company in charge of maintaining the property has done so negligently, resulting in an unsafe or dangerous condition. When this condition causes a person’s injuries, that person will have a personal injury claim against the property owner and/or manager to recover for their pain and suffering, lost wages, medical bills, and any other expenses resulting from the injuries.
