In general terms, a “slip and fall” accident refers to situations where a person is injured by slipping, or tripping, and falling due to a dangerous condition on the premises. Such falls can happen inside or outside a building, and be caused by such conditions as bad flooring, wet floors, poorly lit steps, or, in the case of outdoor accidents, weather-related or hidden hazards. An icy patch outside a door or a crack, a raised ledge or pothole can be the cause of a slip and fall in a parking lot, for instance. In Ontario, ice is often the cause of many very serious slip and fall accidents.

Property owners have a “duty of care” to see that their property is reasonably safe under the circumstances. This includes ensuring that the building has no structural defects or unusual dangers that could cause an accident, both inside and out.   Structural defects or unusual dangers can include: loose floor mats, rugs, or tiles; water on the floor; badly lit stairs or steps; cracks or holes in sidewalks or parking lots. Weather-related hazards may include standing water, snow and icy spots. A plaintiff or claimant also has a duty to exercise reasonable care, so if any action of yours contributed to the accident, you may share in the negligence.

Often, people contact our firm requesting information about what they should do after a slip or trip and fall accident.
