Representing Victims of Slip-and-Fall Accidents and Other Property Incidents
Property owners or occupiers are expected to take care to ensure that persons are reasonably safe while on the premises. If you have been injured due to a slip-and-fall accident or any other type of accident relating to the condition of a property, you could be entitled to compensation.
At Graves Richard Harris LLP we handle claims arising out of occupier's liability such as a slip-and-fall accident. As one of southwestern Ontario's premier law firms, we use our resources to help clients pursue maximum compensation to which they may be entitled for their injuries or potential financial losses.
Compensation for Occupier's Liability Claims
Laws governing occupier's liability apply to all types of property, from retail shopping centres to government buildings to private residences. We represent those who have suffered serious injury in slip/trip-and-fall accidents or other property-related incidents involving:
- Broken or uneven flooring
- Unmarked slippery surfaces/wet floors
- Poor lighting
- Weak guardrails or handrails on stairways
- Improper ice and snow removal
- Failure to salt sidewalks or parking lots
- Falling merchandise or other objects
- Inadequate security
Injuries in a slip-and-fall accident may range from relatively minor ones such as bruises to serious back or spinal cord injuries. Some injuries may result in chronic pain or limited ability to perform basic tasks for weeks or even months after the accident.
While obtaining benefits may seem straightforward at first, your rights may vary depending on the nature of your accident, where on the property it occurred, who owned or occupied the property at the time of the accident, and the extent of your injuries. Our experienced personal injury lawyers understand the legal complexities that may be involved in your claim. We will listen to your story and help you determine whether you may have a viable claim for your injuries. If so, we will work diligently to help you obtain maximum compensation.
