The negligence of certain property owners/occupiers can have profound consequences. When injury-causing slips and falls occur, the accident victim may find themselves in precarious physical, emotional, and economic positions.
Recovering from severe injuries can be a long, challenging, and socially isolating journey. It is no wonder that seriously injured victims of slip and fall accidents often develop additional maladies in the form of debilitating mental health issues.
Furthermore, people who have been injured in a slip and fall accident are often forced to pay exorbitant costs related to their injuries and medical care. The damages incurred by injured slip and fall accident victims often include:
- Medical expenses
- Attendant careÂ
- Physiotherapy
- Mobility aids, assistive medical equipment
- Prescriptions
- Home modifications to accommodate newly acquired disabilities
- Ambulance services
- Mileage expenses to and from medical appointments
- Housekeeping services
- And more
The economic burden of injuries can be even greater if the accident victim’s newly acquired medical condition makes it impossible for them to carry out the duties of their jobs. If a person is injured in a slip and fall accident and can no longer continue earning the wages to which they had become accustomed as a result, they could struggle to continue supporting themselves and their families. Depending on the severity of their injuries and the length of time it takes to recover from them, survivors of slips and falls could suffer from a significantly reduced future earning capacity should their physical condition continue to impede their ability to work in their chosen profession. An injured slip and fall accident victim’s physical, emotional, and financial well-being could be jeopardized in an instant, all because of someone else’s negligence.
In accordance with the province’s Occupiers’ Liability Act, people or entities who own and/or occupy commercial or residential properties are required to take the safety of others into consideration. That means, the law requires them to regularly inspect their premises, remain vigilant about addressing safety issues, and take proactive steps to help reduce the risk of injuries on-site. Failure to take appropriate measures to address hazardous maintenance issues could be considered negligence.
Therefore, if you were injured on someone else’s property, you might be entitled to compensation. If a property owner/occupier’s negligence led to an accident in which you sustained compensable injuries, you might be eligible to recover damages for costs you have incurred as a result.

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.
