Can I Sue – Do I Have a Case for a Termination After a Slip and Fall Accident at Work?
Yes, you have a case for being terminated after a slip and fall accident while at work. If you fall at work during working hours, you have an automatic worker’s compensation claim. The worker’s compensation coverage begins your first day of work, there is no lead time or waiting time for it to kick in. You are completely covered for an injury from your first day on the job. That is the beauty of working in our country, you are covered for losses while doing your job at your employer’s place of business.
It is actually illegal for an employer to terminate you for falling on the job. You need to look at the reasons for the fall. The employer, supervisor, manager and owner of the business are the people who are responsible for you at the job. They are also responsible for you being able to work in a completely safe area of the business. Whether you are working on a shop floor, in a warehouse, in an office or in a food industry, wherever you are working it is supposed to be and meant to be a completely safe area for you to work. No one is expected to work in an unsafe area, and perform their job effectively. That doesn’t add up, it doesn’t make sense, and it isn’t how the law works.

Slipping and Falling at Work Can Produce Serious Injuries
When a person naturally walks on a clean and dry surface, the way we walk is that our legs support our body weight and it is split in mid-stride as we move forward. Just like the photo finishes you see of a thoroughbred horse at the finish line, where all hooves are in the air, we walk the same way. At some point, our feet do lift off of the ground, and for that few seconds, we are susceptible and vulnerable to the surface of the ground. In short – we can fall!
If you are walking and slip and fall on a slippery surface, you lose your grip on being able to walk naturally, and your feet will flip out from under you. When that happens, you can fall down, and hard! If you fall down to the ground, you can twist, stumble, fall forwards or backwards and can injure yourself in many different areas, including:
- Back
- Spine
- Arm
- Leg
- Hip
- Wrist
- Head injury (from falling backwards)
- Concussion
- Contusion
- Laceration
- Twisted ankle
- Clean break on a bone
If you have fallen on a stairwell, you need to understand that the manager, supervisor and owner of the business have just as much responsibility to keep the stairs and stairwells clean and free from debris as well. You need to have adequate lighting, clean flooring, and clean areas to get around at the place of business, to prevent accidental falls for any employee at the workplace.
Hazardous Workplaces Will Breed Injuries of the Workers
If your workplace has hazardous flooring or carpets, there is a high likelihood that eventually you will fall. If the floors are not well maintained, and they are slippery or full of obstacles or debris, then you need to understand that the employer is still responsible for these areas. All areas in a business are meant to be safe. If there are issues such as:
- Throw rugs that are bent up
- Cracked cement entering the building
- Potholes in the sidewalk
- Extension cords running dangerously along the floor
- Wet flooring from mopping or mud from outside
Employers need to have a cleaning or janitorial department to clean up spills and messes on the floor. The maintenance department needs to continually check the floor for:
- Wet areas of the floor
- Spills not cleaned up
- Edges that are uneven on outside pavement
- Raised sections of a sidewalk
- Water on the floor
- Tree roots buckling the sidewalk outside
- Walkways and aisles free from obstacles and debris
