A 72 year old employee of Walmart was killed after he suffered an accidental fall while at work. According to reports, the employee had been working on a store rack when he attempted to step down from a ladder. The senior citizen employee missed the ladder and fell. He died as a result of this accidental fall.
Falling from a ladder or higher elevation is one of the most common types of Florida slip and fall or trip and fall accidents causing injury, disability, and death. However, as this case illustrates, one need not be a roofer, builder, or utility worker to suffer a serious or deadly work fall from a ladder or higher elevation.
In addition, slip and fall accidents and trip and fall accidents are a major cause of broken bones, serious head injuries, and sometimes death. A South Florida fall accident injury lawyer should be consulted by families of injured or deceased Floridians to help determine the best and most focused way to handle corresponding litigation.
