If one slips, falls and injures oneself at work, will it be permissible to sue the employer and claim damages?

Answer

If one slips, falls and injures oneself at work, it is not permissible to sue the employer. The accident was not caused by the employer, hence the Shariah does not permit suing as western law does. However, if the government has a fund from which they pay injured people, then it will be permissible to accept from the government.
