Currently many insurance companies are doing much to encourage small businesses to do everything they can to reduce the exposure to slip & fall accidents, and to make sure their insurance policy includes premises liability coverage for slip-and-fall lawsuits. Recently at the Waukesha County Safety Council meeting we were informed that the Department of Workforce Development & the Department of Commerce had recently increased its investigation of compensable employee injuries. The Wisconsin Statue 102.57states: Violations of safety provisions, penalty. If injury is caused by the failure of the employer to comply with any statute or any lawful order of the department, compensation and death benefits provided in this chapter shall be increased 15% but the total increase may not exceed $15,000. Failure of an employer reasonably to enforce compliance by employees with that statute or order of the department constitutes failure by the employer to comply with that statute or order. These fines are NOT covered by insurance. Plaintiff’s legal expenses, as required for non-compliance of federal mandates. You are still required to correct the problem.
