If you suffer an injury at the workplace or experience work-related injuries, you have the right to compensation for medical expenses and wage loss under workers’ compensation laws. Most employers, including those who employ workers for more than 40 hours per week, are required to have workers’ compensation insurance for their employees. This insurance is designed to compensate for the costs of employee injuries and wage loss, regardless of fault for the injury.

While many people may choose to overlook injuries sustained in slip and fall accidents, it is crucial to seek the assistance of an attorney if an injury occurs. Even though it’s common for people to let such incidents pass without taking legal action, if you’ve been injured, it’s advisable to consult with a lawyer.
