Question posted in the General Law category relating to Gauteng
On the 21 September 2023 I fell at work while I was trying to pull a pallet full of tubs using a pallet jerk, I slipped because of the sugar on the floor because we were sorting sugar coated sweets. After falling my partner was called to rush me to the hospital since I was 21 weeks pregnant. When we got to the hospital we found out that the baby's heart stopped.Since I fell at work do I file for injury at work and maternity leave at the same time because I lost my baby because of the negligence of my supervisor, she would make people that are not pregnant to work while sitting while I was not allowed to sit but to stand the whole night more especially on a dangerous spot where there is sugar which she knows that it has caused alot of people to fall. Please I need your assistance on what to do.
