Slip and fall accidents can occur unexpectedly, leaving victims with severe injuries and financial burdens. If you have been injured in a slip and fall accident in Ontario, it is essential to understand your rights and seek legal assistance to navigate the complex legal landscape. Locksley Group, a trusted law firm specializing in personal injury cases, is here to help you pursue justice and compensation for your losses.
Understanding Slip and Fall Accidents:
- Liability for Property Owners: In Ontario, property owners, occupiers, or managers have a legal responsibility to maintain their premises in a safe condition. This includes ensuring that potential hazards, such as wet floors, icy surfaces, uneven walkways, or inadequate lighting, are addressed promptly to prevent accidents.
- Negligence and Duty of Care: To establish liability, it is necessary to prove that the property owner or occupier failed to fulfill their duty of care. This means demonstrating that they knew or should have known about the hazardous condition and failed to take reasonable steps to address it.
- Types of Injuries: Slip and fall accidents can result in a wide range of injuries, including fractures, sprains, head injuries, spinal cord injuries, and soft tissue damage. These injuries can lead to medical expenses, pain and suffering, loss of income, rehabilitation costs, and other related damages.
- Comparative Negligence: In some cases, the injured party may be partially responsible for the accident due to contributory negligence. Ontario follows the principle of comparative negligence, where the compensation may be reduced based on the injured person’s degree of fault.
