Employee slipped and fell
During a Maccas shift, a worker fell on a greasy floor. This has since resulted in ongoing back issues. No one said anything to the employee at the time of the fall and they got up and kept working. They tried to report the incident approximately 4 months later but were told it's too late because there is no camera footage. There was never a formal induction for the employee.
This happened approx 6 years ago but has impacted them ever since. Ongoing physio appointments, a hospital stay and having to take leave from work. The injury is progressively getting worse.
Is there any hope in pursuing legal action?
