Avoid A Drastic Call. Don’T Slip, Trip And Fall
Slip and Fall accidents are one of the most important types of accidents that can happen anywhere and at any point of time. If we analyze all the slip and fall accidents, we could find one common factor which is that most of them are avoidable and preventable. Also, when people slip and hurt themselves, they assume that it was their own fault and they should have been more careful. However, most of these slip and fall accidents are caused by someone else’s fault or negligence.
What To Do After A Slip And Fall
There are some things which you should make note of in any slip and fall accident. Make a note of the place where you slip as if you slipped and fell in front of a private residence, then owners of that property are liable and if you slipped on public pavements or property then municipal authorities are responsible. You should take a photograph of the exact place where you slipped and fell. Also note the time of accident, whether it was after dark or not. Look for the cause of the accident-was it ice, snow, water, oil, obstruction or pot hole. If there were any witness around, record their testimonies and contact details. You should report the accident to the property owner or municipal authority and get some form of acknowledgement.
After your accident, contact our Cornwall slip and fall injury lawyer immediately. Our lawyer would advise you to visit a qualified and licensed doctor immediately and document your injuries no matter how minor they may appear.
Slip and Fall Responsibility:
Ontario law states that property owners should take care of their property by regular maintenance, repairs and inspection. They have a duty to ensure that their premises remain safe for all those who are on their premises.
Our slip and fall lawyer would try to prove 2 conditions. First that the property owner have adequate knowledge of the condition which led to slip and fall and second the victim was not aware of the dangerous condition. If these conditions are proved, then our lawyer can file a claim for compensation from the responsible party by submitting the evidence to show how the fall resulted in injury and loss.
