No one imagines that, one day, while they are going about their normal routine, a surprise accident will change the course of their entire lives. Even the most cautious, safety-minded community member can be injured in a slip and fall accident caused by an unsafe, neglected maintenance issue.Â
Just like no one anticipates being seriously injured in a slip and fall, no one can truly comprehend just how consequential these accidents can be. On top of sustaining physical injuries that could continue to impact an accident victim’s life for years to come, the people who have been injured in slips and falls on other people’s property often find themselves grappling with psychological unrest and financial uncertainty.
The process of recovering from serious injuries can be socially isolating, physically challenging, and emotionally overwhelming. As a result, many seriously injured accident victims who require long periods of hospitalization, intensive physiotherapy, and other lifestyle adjustments to cope with their injuries develop secondary disabilities in the form of severe mental health concerns. These can include:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Insomnia and other sleep disorders
- Alcohol use disorder
- And more
When the injuries sustained in a slip and fall make it impossible for the accident victim to carry out the duties of their jobs, they might face even greater emotional and economic challenges. Recovering from injuries or adjusting to life with newly acquired disabilities can be an overwhelmingly expensive process. Few people have an adequate amount of money saved to weather the financial storm of sustaining a severe injury. If injured accident victims are unable to continue working as a result of their slip and fall, they might struggle to continue paying their regular costs of living in addition to their injury-related expenses.
Our Stirling slip and fall accident lawyers believe that no one should be forced to pay for someone else’s wrongful conduct. Indeed, most slip and fall accidents that occur on someone else’s premises are the result of the property owner/occupier’s negligence. When the negligence of a property owner/occupier leads to an injurious slip and fall, they might be responsible for providing the injured accident victim with compensation.
That is because, in accordance with the province’s Occupiers’ Liability Act, the owners and/or occupiers of commercial and residential properties owe their visitors a duty of care. Failing to uphold this legal obligation by allowing unsafe maintenance hazards to exist on their premises could be considered negligence.Â
If you were injured one someone else’s property, it might not be clear to you right away whether the property owner/occupier’s negligence caused your accident to occur. To discuss the circumstances of your case with our slip and fall accident lawyers serving Stirling, call 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.
