In accordance with the provinceโ€™s Occupiersโ€™ Liability Act, the parties and/or entities that own or occupy commercial and residential spaces must take action to safeguard the physical well-being of people who engage with their spaces. That means they must routinely inspect the premises for safety issues and address any potential hazards in a timely manner. They are required by law to repair, remove, or adequately warn guests about potential slip and fall hazards that exist on the premises. If the failure to do so leads to an injury-causing accident, the property owner/occupier might be considered negligent.ย 

If a property owner/occupierโ€™s negligence led to a slip and fall accident in which you sustained compensable injuries, consider booking a free initial consultation with our Whitby slip and fall accident lawyers.

By working with our Whitby slip and fall accident lawyers, you might be able to recover the economic and non-economic damages you have incurred as a result of being injured on a negligent property owner/occupierโ€™s premises. These damages often include:

  • Medical expenses

  • Attendant careย 
  • Physiotherapyย 
  • Mobility aids, assistive medical equipment

Our Whitby slip and fall accident lawyers may be able to help you recover the compensation you deserve, but there may not be much time to waste. This is especially true if your injuries were sustained in a slip and fall accident caused by improperly cleared ice and/or snow.ย 

Due to recent amendments to provincial legislation, claimants who have been injured because of snow or ice on someone elseโ€™s property have only 60 days from the date of their accident in which to serve the at-fault party with a notice of claim. That is why, if you were injured in a slip and fall accident in Whitby, speaking to Preszler Injury Lawyers right away could be beneficial.

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.
