The most important fact for injured workers to know is that, after workplace slip, trip and fall accidents, they can trust us to help them obtain the benefits they deserve

When analysis of the incidence of slip, trip and fall accidents is done in terms of the types of occupations with the greatest risks (and the highest reported incidence) of these accidents, by far, the leading occupation associated with slip, trip and fall accidents is police officers. In fact, as the BLS reports, police officers are five times more likely than any other worker to sustain a slip, trip and fall accident while working.

Other occupations with a high risk of sustaining slip, trip and fall accidents include:

• General labors, whose rate of being involved in a slip, trip and fall accident is reportedly triple that of the average worker
• Janitors
• Commercial drivers, including truckers
• Nurses and orderlies.

Here, it’s important to note that any worker can face the risk of these accidents in his workplace, so it’s critical that an employer takes the appropriate measures to provide a safe workplace, as well as the necessary safety training, to minimize the risks of these accidents and related workplace injuries.
