Slips, trips and falls occur in a myriad of workplace environments – and may happen more often than you think. Our team of personal injury lawyers is used to seeing how common slips, trips, and falls can be within the workplace environment. Non-fatal slip-and-fall accidents account for more than 8 million visits to the emergency room each year. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, slips, trips, and falls cause most work-related accidental injuries. They can result in serious physical trauma such as contusions, fractures, or back injuries. Recognize hazards in your work environment, and use preventative measures to avoid injuring yourself or a co-worker. If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, a Virginia Beach personal injury attorney can help you seek the compensation you deserve.

What can an employer and employee do to prevent accidents in the workplace?
Preventing injuries should be a goal of every work environment. However, accidents can happen. Many of us have a friend or relative who has had a slip-and-fall related work injury. If you or someone you know has been injured at work, please call the Worker’s Compensation attorneys at Rutter Mills Law Firm.
Having been a staff attorney for the U.S. Department of Labor prior to joining Rutter Mills, Mr. Pound understands labor law like few others. His background assisting administrative law judges in drafting decisions under the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act makes him the right advocate for clients injured at the shipyard, or in any job involved in the building, repair, maintenance, loading or unloading of a vessel.
