Can this be classified as a work accident?
Typing this with one hand so I’ll keep it quick. My coworker asked me to open a register fast since a bunch of people were coming in, and as I rushed over, I slipped on a puddle of milk I didn’t notice. It felt straight out of a cartoon. I fell on my right arm and now my wrist is swollen. Can I report this as a workplace accident?
