Key Slip and Fall Injury Facts

Speed is of the essence in this kind of case as there are new and very strict deadlines recently imposed by legislation. They include a 10 day notice notice period for municipalities and a 60 days notice period for all other properties in Ontario. Failure to give proper notice will be fatal to your case. So please book a free consultation right away using the red button at the top and then finish reading this page.

Property owners are responsible for maintaining their property so it is safe for those using it. This is true whether the property in question is a private residence, a business or public property. Proper maintenance will generally include shovelling walkways in the winter and keeping them clear of ice and snow, as well as ensuring that there are no tripping hazards such as uneven ground or obstacles lying on walkways.

Often these accidents were caused by the particular conditions on the day of the accident, which is evidence that your lawyer will want to preserve. Owners should be particularly cautious of any areas of their property that are under construction or excavation as these areas may be particularly dangerous for pedestrians.

Slip or trip-and-fall accidents can cause a wide range of injuries, from bruises and sprains to fractures, nerve damage, severe brain damage and even death. You may have a legal claim for your damages against the owner of property if you were injured in a slip-and-fall accident that was caused by the owner’s failure to properly maintain the property.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Tom Lam

My wife and I were involved in an automobile accident with a tractor trailer. Andrea Girones took every step to move my file forward as efficiently as possible from the first moment we met with her. She was able to address every one of our concerns during the litigation process. We always felt prepared to face the next challenges related to our case. I have no doubt that we would not have resolved our action as successfully without her experience and advice on how to navigate the entire legal process. More importantly, Andrea helped our family get the help we needed to get back to where we were before our accident

Shelley

I have been completely satisfied with the legal services provided to me by Andrea Girones and her staff.

I would highly recommend her services to anyone needing legal representation. She and her staff promptly answered any questions that I had and kept me well informed regarding the status of my case.

I would without reservation use her services again should I ever need them.

Marilyn Thompson

When I first consulted you about my case, you took it on and also advised me that I had two other claims that I did not even know existed! As a result of you pursuing these two new matters that I was not even aware of, I received approximately seven times more than my original matter is worth. I want to thank you for getting me money that I did not know I was entitled to.
