Corporate environments can be cut-throat, tense and competitive and because of this, many companies organize team-building events, meetings and conferences in order to ease the tension as well as enhance camaraderie within the organization. These events can take place on site or away from the city, and they include multiple activities that may be physical as well as mental.

However, these events present unique risks that may lead to injuries, bringing forth the question of liability which is more often than not contentious. Injuries at corporate events may occur due to reasons such as unsafe venues, inadequate supervision as well as malfunctioning equipment, to name but a few.

The intricate nature of corporate events may complicate the negligence and compensation process, blurring the lines as far as who may be held liable for one’s injuries. Getting injured at a corporate event may lead to physical pain, confusion as well as uncertainty when it comes to one’s future due to the piling medical expenses, lost wages and even incapacitation depending on the severity of the injury.

It is however important to understand that you have inalienable rights that kick in outside of workers’ compensation which can help you recover compensation and make you whole again. It is however important to note that due to the nuances of such claims, legal representation is vital to ensure you are appropriately and comprehensively compensated, and that you do not leave any money on the table, and we’re here to help facilitate this and so much more.

Employer Responsibilities in the Prevention of Injuries at Corporate Events

When looking at liability for injuries in corporate events, it is important to note that employers have a duty of care towards their employees in ensuring safety is prioritized at all times. This can include things like selecting venues that are safe and have passed various environmental safety checks as well as being free from hazards.

In addition, these events must take into account the physical limitations and requirements of all attendees, and that any trouble spots are cordoned off or marked clearly. Lastly, event organizers must make sure that there are enough supervisors or safety personnel to respond to any emergencies so they do not develop into more serious or catastrophic injuries.

Here are some of the most common types of injuries sustained at corporate events:

1. Slips and falls due to uneven surfaces, wet floors or cluttered walkways leading to fractures, head injuries and sprains
2. Equipment-related injuries due to malfunctioning or poorly maintained or defective sports gear
3. Food-related injuries whereby allergy-inducing foods are not clearly marked or food poisoning due to poor food preparation methods by caterers

Most employers will have liability insurance to cover the fallout of injuries sustained by attendees of corporate events. This form of insurance may cover things like medical expenses as well as legal fees, but it is important to note that just because liability insurance exists does not guarantee compensation.

In addition, the workers’ compensation no fault program provides employees with avenues for compensation after sustaining work-related injuries. That said, this program provides limited liability protection for employers which means that you may not be able to directly sue your employer for additional damages should you sign on the dotted line.

These injury claims tend to be complex and may involve multiple parties. The danger with accepting your employer’s suggestion to have workers’ comp or liability insurance cover your injuries is that you do not know the full scope of your injuries and their impact a few months from now, and you may discover that you require additional surgery or treatment, or that you may not be able to return to work at full capacity.

It is because of these reasons and others we would love to discuss with you that it is vital you reach out to us at (314) 481-63338 so we can go over your injuries and the circumstances that led up to them.
