Without warning, a regular activity can turn into a years-long ordeal for Ajax residents going about their daily business. Visiting a business or residential building, walking down a grocery store aisle, descending a flight of stairs, or engaging in any type of normal activity on someone else’s property can be disastrous for unsuspecting accident victims impacted by someone else’s negligence.Â
Slip and fall accidents may sound like minor events. Unfortunately, in Ajax, they frequently result in severe injuries. Depending on a number of factors, including the physical conditions of the accident scene as well as the victim’s age, slips and falls can have tremendous, long-lasting, and even fatal consequences.
This is especially true for senior citizens, who account for the majority of slip and fall accident victims requiring hospitalization. According to recent data, four out of five seniors requiring hospitalization were admitted because of injuries they sustained in a fall.Â
Seniors have a higher likelihood of being involved in a slip and fall accident. They also have a higher chance of sustaining serious injuries as the result of one. Injuries that are commonly sustained in Ajax slip and fall accidents include:
- Broken or fractured bones
- Strains and sprains
- Musculoskeletal injuries
- Facial and dental injuries
- Neck and back injuries
- Spinal cord injuriesÂ
- Paralysis
- Concussions
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Hip fractures
- And moreÂ
In addition to causing significant physical pain, psychological distress, and disruption to one’s life, depending on the age and medical condition of the accident victim, some injuries sustained in a slip and fall could even lead to their premature demise. Seniors who sustain hip fractures, for example, may require surgery. Hip replacement surgery is complicated and invasive. Even when successfully completed, those who have undergone the surgery often suffer reduced mobility, often requiring the use of an ambulatory assistive device. But hip replacement surgery can lead to major complications. These complications often have fatal consequences. Indeed, according to reports from the Canadian Institute for Health Information, 30% of seniors who receive a hip replacement die within one year following their surgery.
Regardless of the injured victim’s age, slip and fall accidents can have profoundly devastating consequences. Our Ajax slip and fall accident lawyers believe that no one should be forced to shoulder the physical, psychological, and financial burdens associated with surviving an injurious accident.Â
In accordance with the province’s Occupiers’ Liability Act, the owners/occupiers of both commercial and residential properties owe a duty of care to the people visiting their premises. That means they must regularly inspect the area in and around the property for potential hazards and deal with them appropriately in a timely fashion. If a property owner/occupier’s failure to properly address a potentially dangerous maintenance hazard on their premises and an injury-causing accident occurs as a result, the negligent property occupier may be liable for damages incurred by the injured accident victim.Â
Therefore, if you were injured on someone else’s property, you may be entitled to compensation. To discuss your case with our slip and fall accident lawyers serving Ajax, book your free initial consultation by calling 1-800-JUSTICE today.

slip and fall accident FAQs
Here are some commonly asked questions for slip and fall accident claims
What should I do after slipping and falling on someone else’s commercial or residential property?
After a slip and fall accident on someone else’s property, it is essential to seek medical attention immediately. Report the incident to the property owner or manager and get their contact information. Collect evidence, such as photographs of the scene, names and contact information of witnesses, and any other relevant information. Contact our Ontario slip and fall accident lawyers to discuss your legal options during a free initial consultation.
What should I do after slipping and falling on property controlled by the city or municipality (e.g., a sidewalk)?
It is important to report the incident to the office of the city’s clerk as soon as possible. In a written letter delivered by registered mail within 10 days of the accident, provide the city clerk with relevant information, such as the date, time, and location of the accident, any maintenance flaws or hazards that might have been responsible for your fall, and the injuries you sustained. Take photos of the scene, gather witness information, and seek medical attention before scheduling a free initial consultation with a slip and fall accident lawyer.
How long will it take to settle my case?
The time it takes to settle a slip and fall accident case can vary. Some cases settle within a few months, while others may take several years. The timeline can depend on a number of factors, such as the complexity of the case, the severity of the injuries sustained, and the willingness of the parties involved in the claim to negotiate.
How long do I have to sue
Generally speaking, you have two years from the date of your accident in which to begin legal action. However, in certain situations, additional limitations can appy. For example, if your slip and fall accident was the result of improperly cleared ice and/or snow, you must provide the negligent parties with a written notice of claim within 60 days of your accident in order to pursue legal action against them during the two-year limitation period.
Do I have a strong case?
The strength of a slip and fall case depends on several factors, such as the severity of the injuries you have sustained and the availability of evidence proving that the property owner/occupier’s negligence caused the accident to occur. To determine whether you have a viable case, contact our Ontario slip and fall accident lawyers for a free initial consultation.
How much compensation will I get?
By working with our Ontario slip and fall accident lawyers, you may be able to recover compensation for damages you have incurred (or will incur in the future) as a result of the injuries you sustained on someone else’s premises. These damages will be case-specific, determined by the financial losses you have and/or will sustain. You could be eligible to receive compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, reduced future earning capabilities, and other financial losses related to your accident.
