Nobody expects to be involved in a serious accident, and few people are financially prepared for just how costly the process of recovery can be. At Preszler Injury Lawyers, we believe that no one should be forced to pay the cost of someone else’s negligence. And in London, many accidents that occur on commercial or residential properties owned and/or occupied by other parties or entities are often the result of someone else’s negligence.
The legal responsibilities of property owners/occupiers are detailed in the province’s Occupiers’ Liability Act. In the context of premises liability claims, the term “occupier” could refer to:
- Landlords
- Property managers
- Business owners/managers
- Maintenance technicians
- Landscapers
- Superintendents
- Tenants
- Anyone who controls access to the space
- Anyone responsible for the property’s maintenance
- And more
According to provincial legislation, anyone who owns/occupies commercial or residential property owes their guests a duty of care. Therefore, it is incumbent upon property owners/occupiers to take proactive, preemptive precautions to keep their premises clear of potentially dangerous hazards. That means, they have a legal obligation to take the safety of others into consideration, to routinely inspect their premises for unsafe conditions, and address any issues that pose a threat to human health in a timely and efficient manner. Failure to do so could be considered negligence.
In the immediate aftermath of a slip and fall accident, it can be difficult to know which steps to take next, especially if the incident causes an accident victim to sustain injuries. Many people instinctively blame themselves or their own clumsiness after slipping and falling in public or on someone else’s property, and so they do their best to leave the accident scene and put the embarrassing incident behind them as quickly as possible.
However, many slip and fall accidents in London are, in fact, the result of another party or entity’s negligence. It may not be apparent to victims in the shock that follows an injury-causing accident, but oftentimes slips and falls are entirely preventable; they occur only because of someone else’s failure to fulfill their legal obligations.
If the negligence of a property owner/occupier causes another person to sustain injuries in a slip and fall, the responsible party may be required to provide their injured victims with financial compensation for expenses they have incurred as a result of being involved in the slip and fall accident. By working with our London slip and fall accident lawyers, injured accident survivors in the region may be able to recover the maximum amount of compensation to which they are rightfully owed.
Our slip and fall accident lawyers serving London believe no one should be responsible for paying the price of someone else’s failure to fulfill their legal duties. If you were injured in a slip and fall accident, call Preszler Injury Lawyers at 1-800-JUSTICE today and receive a free, personalized initial consultation on your case.

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.
