Kitchener Slip and Fall Accident Lawyers


Slip and fall accidents can have serious physical, psychological, and financial ramifications. Depending on a number of factors, including the age and medical condition of the accident victim and the physical conditions of the accident scene, slips and falls can cause unsuspecting people to sustain serious– sometimes permanent– injuries. 

In Kitchener, common injuries sustained by victims of slip and fall accidents frequently include:

Any number of these injuries can have long-lasting, real-world effects on the lives of unsuspecting accident victims. Because of seemingly commonplace maintenance hazards that have been left unaddressed by the owners/occupiers of commercial or residential properties, injured accident victims could find themselves struggling to cope with the consequences for years to come. 

Recovering from physical injuries can be an emotionally fraught, isolating experience. Many injuries resulting from slips and falls require lengthy periods of hospitalization, intense physiotherapy, and radical lifestyle adjustments. The recovery process can be disheartening and demoralizing. Oftentimes, the combination of physical pain and emotional distress can cause an injured accident victim to develop additional disabilities in the form of mental health issues.

This is especially true for injured victims of slip and fall accidents who can no longer work because of injuries they have sustained. In these scenarios, injured survivors of slip and fall accidents may find themselves struggling to meet their financial obligations. Unable to afford both injury-related expenses and their regular costs of living, injured slip and fall accident victims may find themselves in legitimate financial distress, all because of someone else’s negligence. 

In accordance with the province’s Occupiers’ Liability Act, all property owners/occupiers have a legal obligation to routinely inspect their premises and perform regular maintenance in an attempt to reduce the risk of injury-causing accidents on-site. If a property owner/occupier knows about a potentially dangerous hazard on their premises– or should know about it– but fails to take adequate steps to repair it, remove it, or warn guests about it, they may be considered negligent. Therefore, they may be liable for damages incurred by injured victims of slip and fall accidents. 

By working with a Kitchener slip and fall accident lawyer, people who were injured because of a property owner/occupier’s negligence may be able to recover the following damages:

  • Medical expenses
  • Pain and suffering
  • Lost wages
  • Reduced earning capacity
  • Attendant care 
  • Physiotherapy 
  • Mobility aids, assistive medical equipment
  • Prescriptions
  • Home modifications to accommodate newly acquired disabilities 
  • Ambulance services
  • Mileage expenses to and from medical appointments
  • Housekeeping services
  • And possibly more
