Defying gravity

Zurich takes on slips, trips and falls

Gravity—what's it costing you? Slips, trips and falls might be fodder for slapstick comedy, but at Zurich, we're not laughing. According to our claim data, slip, trip and fall losses account for about 14 percent of our overall losses. Each year, these injuries cost our customers millions in indemnity and lost time costs along with needless suffering among their employees, customers and the general public. It's time for new tactics.
