Los Angeles Slip and Fall Accident Lawyer

Helping Injured Workers Pursue California Workers’ Compensation

One unexpected fall at work can derail everything. What starts as a slip on a slick floor or a misstep on a broken stair can quickly turn into something much more serious: fractures, back pain, lost wages, and mounting medical bills. The physical pain is one thing. The stress of dealing with your employer’s insurance or being out of work only makes it harder.

At the Law Office of Ronald P. Ehrman, we understand how overwhelming this can be. That’s why we’re here to help you take action. If you were hurt while doing your job, we can help you pursue the workers’ compensation benefits that may be available under California law. From the first report to the final resolution, we work with you to make the process as straightforward as possible, especially if your claim has been delayed, denied, or underpaid.

Do I Qualify for Workers’ Compensation After a Fall?

Most employees in California are covered by workers’ compensation laws. If your slip and fall happened while you were performing your job or even moving between work areas, you may qualify for benefits. You do not need to prove that your employer was negligent because the system is meant to cover most job-related injuries regardless of who was at fault.

You may be eligible if:

• The accident happened while you were on the clock or on your employer’s premises
• The fall resulted in an injury that required medical care
• You reported the injury within the required timeframe
• You are classified as an employee (not an independent contractor)

Even with a valid claim, it’s common to encounter pushback from your employer’s insurance carrier. Our Los Angeles slip and fall lawyer can review your situation and help you determine whether your claim meets California’s requirements.

How a Los Angeles Slip and Fall Attorney Can Assist You

Filing a workers’ compensation claim may seem straightforward, but many injured workers face delays, denials, or reduced benefits. An experienced attorney can guide you through the process and help you take action if your claim is challenged or underpaid.

• Gather medical records and accident documentation
• Meet strict filing deadlines
• Communicate with the insurance adjuster on your behalf
• Appeal a denied claim
• Explore third-party liability if someone outside your employer caused the hazard

We understand the unique challenges of workplace injury claims in Los Angeles and offer personalized support to help you move forward after your fall.

Common Workplace Hazards That Lead to Slip and Fall Injuries

Slip and fall accidents can happen in almost any setting, from busy construction sites to quiet office hallways. In many cases, these accidents are the result of hazards that could have been corrected with proper maintenance or safety measures.

Common causes of workplace slip and fall injuries include:

• Wet or slippery floors with no warning signs
• Uneven pavement or flooring
• Poor lighting in hallways or stairwells
• Damaged stairs or broken handrails
• Spilled substances not promptly cleaned up
• Loose cables, cords, or rugs
• Cluttered walkways in high-traffic areas

When employers overlook these risks, employees may pay the price. If you’ve been injured due to unsafe conditions on the job, workers’ compensation may be available to help with your recovery.
