The
National Safety Council states that, “slips, trips and falls are one of the
most common and costly workplace incidents across all industries.” In fact slip and fall accidents are one of
the leading causes of workers’ compensation claims in the U.S. and are
responsible for sending 9 million people to the hospital annually. Furthermore, the average cost of a slip and
fall is $20,000 per accident and results in 95 million workdays being lost each
year according to the EHS Today website.
The Occupational Safety & Health Administration’s (OSHA) statistics
show slip and fall incidences account for 15 percent of all accidental deaths,
and are second only to motor vehicles as a cause of fatalities.

fall accidents and getting results for clients injured in premises liability cases
