Slip and Falls
Girones Law helps with slip-and-fall injuries caused by property owner negligence, especially during Ontario’s harsh winters.
Key Slip and Fall Injury Facts
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.
