When you have been hurt badly on someone else’s property, whether that property is commercial, residential, or on public roads and sidewalks, you may not be at fault for your injuries. It is often the responsibility of the property owner to ensure the safety of their premises.
Gluckstein personal injury lawyers have a decade’s worth of experience as legal advocates in Toronto, Ottawa, Niagara, and across Ontario. If you’ve been hurt in an accident, let us represent you and your family.
According to the Occupiers’ Liability Act, Ontario property owners have a duty to keep their properties safe and prevent slip-and-fall accidents.
Examples of occupiers’ liability claims:
Slips, trips, and fall injuries can also be caused by seasonal negligence. Ice and rain can damage concrete over time, creating cracks and uneven terrain. If the company you hired to lay down salt during the winter doesn’t show up, occupants and visitors have a higher risk of being injured.
Property owners must hire reliable and trustworthy companies. Personal injuries, such as slip-and-fall accidents, can result as an example from cleaning crews who do not put up appropriate signage that warns passersby of recently waxed floors, for example.
Buildings must be properly designed to meet codes and safety regulations. Solid stairs and handrails and functioning escalators and elevators provide occupants and visitors with a basic traveling method.
The Occupiers’ Liability Act applies to various types of individuals, including:
Every day, people are hurt as a result of a preventable slip and fall-related incidents. Our firm’s lawyers take immediate action to investigate your injury and its cause, so you can receive the compensation you deserve. Gluckstein Lawyers provide a free initial consultation, so get in touch with us right away!
It is important to keep in mind that there are some slip-and-fall exceptions in the Act, such as injuries that result from criminal activity like trespassing.
Children are highly active and aren’t always as careful as they should be because they are still learning about the world and their personal limits. This is why property owners have a responsibility to ensure that their property is child-friendly.
Our firm’s slip-and-fall lawyers help families whose children have been seriously injured at locations such as camps, amusement parks, swimming pools, and other recreational facilities.
Slip-and-falls can be a source of major damage to your body and may result in needing to take time off from work or school. A personal injury can require many medical appointments and rehabilitation sessions. Families shouldn’t have to use their limited funds to deal with the repercussions of a preventable personal injury. Our team will help you file a claim to ensure you receive compensation and—depending on your case—long-term disability benefits.
