Slip and fall accidents are more common than we realize. All it takes is
a momentary loss of balance for us to fall and injure ourselves.
Most of us assume that “accidents are accidents” and we focus on
recovering our health if we've suffered injuries. However, most accidents are
avoidable and preventable. They're usually caused by someone's fault or
negligence.
If you or a dear one has been injured in a slip and fall accident, you
may be entitled to compensation. Contact Toronto personal injury lawyers Singh Barristers without delay for a free, initial, no-obligations consultation.
What Are Slip and Fall Accidents?
“Slip and fall” accidents include any accident that
results from the victim encountering unsafe conditions underfoot. This can
cause a stumble, trip, twist, over-extension etc and result in a fall.
These accidents, as our experienced Toronto personal injury lawyers
know from experience, can occur anywhere and at any time. Sidewalks, parking
lots, private and public property, tourist locations, stores, malls,
restaurants and hotels, pool-sides and homes are some of the places where they
commonly happen.
Unsafe conditions that may cause accidents include:
- Wet,
slippery floors
- Liquid
spills
- Lack of
warning-signs
- Ice/snow
conditions
- Poor
visibility/lack of lighting
- Badly-maintained
staircases/driveways/paths
- Damaged
wooden floors
- Potholes
- Badly-maintained
entrances
- Unanchored/torn/worn/loose
carpets, rugs, mats
- Debris/clutter
- Lack of hand-rails/fences
Owner/Occupier Liability: “If you're Aware of it, Take
Care of it!”
Owners/occupiers of premises have a duty of care to ensure that all
those who lawfully visit their properties are safe. If your accident happens
because the premises were badly-maintained and you had no prior knowledge of
the unsafe conditions, you may be able to claim compensation for:
- Loss of
income/wages
- Medical
and rehabilitation expenses
- Pain
and suffering
Based on the nature and extent of your injuries and the extent of fault
or negligence that can be proven, you can claim compensation under several
other appropriate categories. Our experienced 24 hour injury lawyers can
provide the right advice and information.
We can assist you to conduct independent investigations into the cause
of the accident and put together a robust claim to get the compensation you
deserve.
