Slip and Fall Accidents are Common Workplace Injuries in Florida

At the Hollywood, Miami, and Homestead offices of Flaxman Law Group, our workers’ compensation lawyers have worked with many hard-working employees who have been seriously injured after a slip and fall accident at work. In fact, slip and fall accidents are common workplace injuries in Florida, and they tend to be more serious than many people realize. If you have experienced such an incident, contact Flaxman Law Group for a free accident consultation to find out what you can do to pursue fair benefits in your case.

Florida's warm climate, coastal areas, and sometimes-stormy weather can increase the risk of slip and fall accidents, including in the workplace. Slippery surfaces, wet floors, uneven walkways, and poorly maintained premises are common causes of such accidents. These accidents can lead to serious injuries, including:

• Broken bones
• Back and spinal cord injuries
• Traumatic head injuries
• Abrasions and scarring
• Sprains and soft tissue injuries

When a slip and fall accident occurs in the workplace, you may be able to seek workers’ compensation benefits to replace lost income, pay for medical bills, and help you with the financial burden of a serious injury. However, getting your rightful benefits is not always easy. Employers and their insurers may try to minimize your injury or even claim you don’t qualify for benefits.

This is where an experienced Florida workers’ comp lawyer can help. Attorneys can investigate the circumstances of your accident and hold negligent parties accountable. Their goal is to ensure that you receive fair compensation for your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
