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

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.

Ontario uses a system called contributory negligence. If you share responsibility, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault.

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.

Owners must take reasonable steps to inspect and maintain their property. Lack of awareness doesn’t necessarily release them from responsibility.

Yes, witness testimony helps, but it isn’t required. Photographs, medical records, and other documentation can establish your claim.

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.

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.

Timelines vary. Some cases resolve in a few months through settlement, while others require more time if litigation becomes necessary.
