The injuries sustained in slip and fall accidents could require hospitalization, surgeries, lengthy periods of physiotherapy, and other disruptive– and expensive– lifestyle adjustments. Although slip and fall accidents may sound harmless, in fact, they often lead to severe injuries.

In this province, the owners and/or occupiers of commercial and residential properties owe their guests a duty of care. That means the person responsible for maintaining the space and controlling access to the premises has to take specific precautions to prevent injury-causing accidents from occurring. These responsibilities are mandated by the province’s Occupiers’ Liability Act and exist to decrease the risk of injury-causing or fatal slip and fall accidents.
If a property’s owner, landlord, manager, groundskeeper, custodian, or other responsible party fails to properly identify and address hazardous maintenance issues in a timely and thorough manner, employees, residents, visitors, customers, delivery personnel, and regular passersby could be seriously injured in a slip and fall accident.Â
By working with our Kapuskasing slip and fall accident lawyers, injured accident survivors may be able to pursue a civil claim against the negligent property owner/occupier whose failure to consider the safety of others led to their injury-causing accident. By doing so, injured survivors of slip and fall accidents may be able to recover damages they have incurred as a result of sustaining injuries on the at-fault party’s premises. Depending on the circumstances of the accident and the impact their injuries have had on their overall quality of life, these damages might include:
- 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

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.
