Slip & Fall Injuries

Almost everyone stumbles, slips or trips and falls at some point in their lives. Accidents will happen, and we all accept that, but if you get hurt or injured due to dangerous conditions while on someone else’s property due to someone else's negligence, you can make the appropriate claims for the injuries you incurred. Occupiers such as homeowners, businesses and even government organizations are responsible for ensuring that their property is not unsafe for the general public. Even though you may not own the sidewalk in front of your house or business, you are still responsible for ensuring that the path into your building is cleared of snow, ice and other debris that could make it dangerous to walk on. If you fail to shovel your own sidewalk, and a passerby injures themselves as a result of your inaction, you could be held responsible and be liable for compensation.

Wet and slippery floors, open holes in the ground or floor and poor lighting are some of the conditions that can contribute to slip and fall or trip and fall injuries. If the courts assess that these conditions should have been addressed by the owner of the property, and if they were aware or should have been aware that dangerous conditions existed, the property owner will be required to pay damages to people who suffered injuries as a result of their negligence.

Injuries can range from minor strains/sprains, to concussions and broken bones. Your compensation will vary depending on the severity of your injuries, and whether there is permanent scarring or damage. If you are required to take time off work or are unable to work in your current job after your recovery, this will all be factored into your settlement.
