Can I sue my employer for a slip and fall?

In most cases, you would not be eligible to sue your employer. Most injuries that happen on the job fall under the umbrella of workers’ compensation, and employers carry worker’s compensation policies to cover employees for just this type of situation.

However, if the negligence of a third-party, for example a contractor, caused your slip and fall accident, you may be able to file a third-party injury claim against them and still seek workers’ compensation benefits as well.
