Slips and Falls

Slips and falls are a common occurrence in Canada, and unfortunately, they can result in serious injuries and legal issues. According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, falls are the leading cause of injury–related hospitalizations in the country, accounting for more than half of all emergency room visits. Fortunately, legal services are available to individuals who have been injured due to a slip and fall.

If you have been injured in a slip and fall, it is important to know your rights and legal options. In Canada, slip and falls are covered by the Occupiers’ Liability Act of Ontario and other provincial legislation. Under these laws, property owners have a duty to maintain their premises in a safe condition and to warn visitors of any potential hazards. If a slip and fall is caused by the negligence of a property owner, they may be held liable for any resulting injuries.

When it comes to filing a claim for a slip and fall, it’s important to act quickly. In Canada, there are strict time limits for filing a claim for personal injury. If a claim is not filed within the designated time period, victims may not be able to recover compensation for their injuries. Additionally, there may be other legal requirements that must be met in order to be successful in a slip and fall claim.
