No one should feel unsafe while visiting a friend’s residential building, shopping at a retail store, returning to one’s car in a parking lot, or engaging in any number of routine activities around Peterborough. Unfortunately, because of the negligence of certain property owners/occupiers, everyday tasks can suddenly and without warning turn into a nightmarish situation.

When slip and fall accidents occur on someone else’s property, the consequences can be far-reaching and severe. In Peterborough, slip and fall accident victims often sustain numerous injuries as a result of being involved in a traumatic incident on someone else’s premises. These injuries can range in severity from moderate to catastrophic, potentially impacting an accident victim’s physical, psychological, and economic well-being for the rest of their lives.

Common examples of injuries frequently sustained in Peterborough slip and fall accidents include:

Many slip and fall accident victims who have sustained physical injuries on someone else’s property often develop severe, disabling medical conditions in the form of serious mental health issues. The process of recovering from severe injuries or adapting to life with newly acquired disabilities can be emotionally challenging, socially isolating, and expensive, especially for injured slip and fall accident victims who cannot continue working because of the injuries they have sustained. These injured survivors of slips and falls may be unable to work because of both the physical and psychological injuries they have sustained. As a result, they could struggle to continue supporting themselves and their families and be forced to make do with a far lower income than that to which they were previously accustomed. Because of someone else’s negligence, their entire quality of life could be unfairly and permanently diminished.

slip and fall accident FAQs

Here are some commonly asked questions for slip and fall accident claims

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
