I fell down a flight of greasy stairs at a restaurant while delivering supplies. I have a herniated disk as a result of this incident. Who is responsible for my injuries? Would it be the restaurant or my employer?

You may have a claim with both the restaurant and your employer.  When you are hurt on the job, worker's compensation (from your employer) is responsible for medical bills and worker's compensation benefits.  In this instance, if you can show negligence or wrongdoing on the part of the restaurant, then you may have a slip and fall claim for pain and suffering against the restaurant as well.  Bear in mind that any settlement monies received from the restaurant would have a lien on it from your employer's worker's compensation carrier.
