If you or a dear one has been injured in a slip and fall or trip and fall accident on another person’s property, it’s important to get medical attention without delay, however minor you consider the injuries to be. Following this, contact an Arthur personal injury lawyer to evaluate your case and assess whether you can file a personal injury claim against those responsible for your accident. Many of us assume that “Accidents are accidents” without realizing that they are in fact caused by another person’s fault or negligence. For instance, you may have tripped/slipped and fallen because of loose paving, poor lighting etc. which the premises owner has a duty to take care of. A top personal injury lawyer in Ontario can help you with the process of filing a claim.
Premises Liability
In Ontario, the Occupier’s Liability Act addresses all cases of on-premises injury. The “occupier” is defined as the person who is in physical possession of a premises or has ultimate responsibility. This act covers public and private properties (except municipal sidewalks and roadways) including swimming-pools, parks, private/residential properties, school premises, malls, stores and apartment buildings.
Our Arthur slip and fall accident lawyers can advise injured victims about the implications of premises liability. Ontario laws specify that the occupier owes all those who enter a duty of care and must maintain the property so that it is safe. There are three categories of visitors to properties: Invitees, licensees and trespassers. No duty of care is owed to the last. Though circumstances may vary and each case is different, our experienced personal injury lawyers can assist you with putting together a robust claim, backed by medical and witness testimony, evidence, documentary/photographic proof etc.
