Nebraska Slip and Fall Accidents Lawyer

Let Our Talented Attorney Represent You in Your Workplace Slip and Fall Claim

Slip and falls are one of the most common causes of workplace injuries throughout the United States. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) states that “Slips, trips and falls make up the majority of general industry accidents.” If you have suffered a slip and fall accident in the workplace, you are likely entitled to compensation through workers’ compensation insurance. Our experienced lawyers can help you initiate and navigate the claim process.

Most Common Causes of Workplace Slip and Falls

A slip and fall can affect a worker in nearly any industry. That being said, those who work in the construction industry are especially at risk, as are workers employed in industries where walking hazards, including spills, are a risk. Some of the top causes of workplace slip and falls include:

Most workplace slip and falls are completely preventable, and would not occur but for a failure to meet safety regulations or poor worker training or supervision.

Injuries from Slip and Fall Accidents

Injuries from slip and falls, especially those falls that occur from heights, can be very serious. Slip and falls may result in:

In some cases, falls can be deadly. In fact, falls are one of the “fatal four” top causes of construction worker deaths.

Do I Have a Workers’ Compensation Claim?

If you have suffered a slip and fall while performing a work-related duty, then you are likely entitled to workers’ compensation insurance. All you need to prove is that the injury occurred during the course of your employment (i.e. happened while you were doing a work-related task). You do not have to prove fault in order to get workers’ compensation benefits.

In order to preserve your right to benefits, it is important that you notify your employer of the slip and fall as soon as possible. You should also seek medical care from an approved provider as soon as you are able.
