If you were injured at work, you have a responsibility to inform your employer.
Each state has different rules that dictate how quickly you must inform
your supervisor or manager of a slip and fall incident, but it is usually
around 30 days. Failing to report your injuries may limit your ability
to recover workers’ compensation benefits. Statutes of limitations
also apply to premises liability lawsuits stemming from slip and fall
accidents, if a third party (someone other than your employer or a co-worker)
was to blame. Be sure to ask your attorney about all of your rights and
responsibilities regarding a work-related fall.
