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 elseโs 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 Brampton are, in fact, the result of another party or entityโs 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 elseโs failure to fulfill their legal obligations.
In this province, anyone who owns/occupies commercial or residential property owes their guests a duty of care. In the context of premises liability claims, the term โoccupierโ 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 propertyโs maintenance
- And more
The legal responsibilities of these property owners/occupiers are detailed in the provinceโs Occupiersโ Liability Act. 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.
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 Brampton 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.
Recovering from injuries sustained in a slip and fall accident can be a long, isolating, demoralizing, and expensive process. Many injured accident survivors require lengthy periods of hospitalization, intense physiotherapy, drastic changes to their daily lifestyles, and other costly, injury-related expenses. Our slip and fall accident lawyers serving Brampton believe no one should be responsible for paying the price of someone elseโs 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
Do I need a lawyer for my slip and fall case?
Yes. A lawyer can handle all the legal complexities of your claim, taking the added stress and pressure off you. A lawyer helps gather evidence and deals with insurers. They also advocate for you and protect your rights.
What if I was partially at fault for my slip and fall accident?
Ontario uses a system called contributory negligence. If you share responsibility, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
How much does it cost to hire a slip and fall lawyer?
Our lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t pay legal fees upfront. Payment happens only if your claim reaches a successful outcome through settlement or judgment.
What if the property owner claims they weren’t aware of the hazard?
Owners must take reasonable steps to inspect and maintain their property. Lack of awareness doesn’t necessarily release them from responsibility.
Can I still file a claim if there were no witnesses to my fall?
Yes, witness testimony helps, but it isn’t required. Photographs, medical records, and other documentation can establish your claim.
What should I do immediately after a slip and fall accident in Ottawa?
Seek medical attention, even for seemingly minor injuries. Report the incident to the property owner or manager. Take photos of the scene and collect witness contact information if possible.
Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault for my slip and fall?
Yes, but your recovery may be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to you. For example, if you were found 25 percent at fault, your compensation would be reduced by that amount.
How long does it typically take to resolve a slip and fall case in Ontario?
Timelines vary. Some cases resolve in a few months through settlement, while others require more time if litigation becomes necessary.
