Following a slip and fall accident, most victims do not know their legal rights or whether they have a valid claim. Property owners and occupiers in Ontario owe visitors a reasonable duty of care to ensure their premises are safe. Where such an obligation is violated, such as by the omission to clear ice, fix hazards, or create proper lighting, they can be liable for the injuries which result.
As a victim, you have a right to claim compensation for:
- Rehabilitation expenses and medical care
- Missed revenue and diminished earning power
- Suffering, emotional distress and pain
- Any out-of-pocket costs for your injury
The law has stringent time restrictions on claims, and in most cases, a notice must be given within a specified number of days if the fall occurred on municipal premises. This is why it is vital to make an appointment with the slip and fall lawyer serving Kitchener as soon as possible.
