Senior citizens are more likely to be involved in slips and falls than younger community members. Indeed, seniors account for a full half of our country’s injuries requiring hospitalization, and four out of five of those injuries are the result of a fall.Â
That said, regardless of the accident victim’s age or physical condition, slips and falls can result in severe injuries. Depending on the severity of the injuries sustained, victims of slip and fall accidents could suffer profound physical repercussions, develop serious mental health issues, and find themselves struggling to support themselves and their families.
Our Lindsay slip and fall accident victims believe that no one should be forced to pay the physical, emotional, or economic costs of someone else’s mistakes. In this province, all owners/occupiers of both commercial and residential properties owe their visitors a duty of care. In accordance with the Occupiers’ Liability Act, the people or companies that oversee properties must take preemptive precautions in an attempt to prevent injurious accidents from occurring on the premises. Failure to take these actions could be considered negligence.Â
If the negligence of a property owner and/or occupier caused you to sustain compensable injuries in a slip and fall in the Lindsay area, you may be eligible to pursue damages, including:
- Medical expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Lost wages
- Reduced earning capacity
- Attendant careÂ
- PhysiotherapyÂ
- Mobility aids, assistive medical equipment
- Prescriptions
- Home modifications to accommodate newly acquired disabilitiesÂ
- Ambulance services
- Mileage expenses to and from medical appointments
- Housekeeping services
- And possibly moreÂ
Everyday maintenance issues might seem innocent enough, but if left unaddressed by the people responsible for maintaining commercial and residential properties, they can be extremely hazardous. Potholes in parking lots, loose carpets or floorboards, recently mopped grocery-store aisles, slick patches of black ice outside an office building or retail store, all of these commonplace, seemingly innocuous issues can cause life-changing accidents wherein unsuspecting visitors to the property sustain severe injuries.Â
This is particularly true for injured accident victims who cannot continue performing the duties of their jobs because of the injuries they have sustained. In those circumstances, accident victims could lose substantial income, as well as suffer from a reduced future earning capacity. Because seemingly run-of-the-mill maintenance issues were left unaddressed by the people or entities that oversee a commercial or residential property, injured accident victims could very quickly struggle to make ends meet.Â
Our slip and fall accident lawyers serving Lindsay have a reputation for helping injured members of the local community recover the compensation they are rightfully owed.

Some slip and fall accidents might only result in minor, negligible injuries like scrapes, bruises, or small cuts. However, depending on a number of factors, slip and fall accidents can change the course of an injured accident victim’s entire life. This is especially true if the neglected maintenance hazard caused the accident victim to fall from a great height. Furthermore, the age and medical condition of the accident victim could also play a significant role in the severity of the accident’s outcome.Â

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?
