Occupiers are not held to a standard of perfection. Even if you have a witness who saw the water or ice, that does not result in an automatic finding of negligence. You need to be able to prove that the system of inspection and maintenance was deficient. Additionally, you will need a lawyer to help you understand what damages you are legally entitled to recover. This is a complicated area of law and can be difficult for an untrained person to understand. At present, we have over 55 years of experience handling cases just like yours.
