Slip and Fall Injuries

Slip and fall cases, also known as trip and fall, are time sensitive. Evidence of negligence can be removed or repaired before an investigation of the scene is launched. Because of this, it is crucial that you seek the help of an experienced lawyer as soon as you are able. Only a Canadian lawyer well versed in personal injury law can properly investigate your case. A prompt and thorough investigation of the scene may be the only way to prove negligence. The longer you wait the less likely you are to receive proper compensation for your injuries and lost wages.

We never charge for an initial visit and if you are unable to see us, we will be glad to visit you in your home or hospital room.

Proving Negligence

One of the more challenging aspects of a slip and fall case is proving that it was caused by negligence. It is extremely important that you act quickly after a slip and fall accident. A lawyer will be able to properly assess the situation and can help you determine if you have a good case, but the longer you wait the more difficult this becomes. A property owner may be quick to hide evidence of their carelessness but a good attorney knows that there are many ways to prove negligence.

No matter how your accident occurred, we can make the law work for you. Property owners are responsible for the maintenance of their property. Period. Any public areas must be free of hazards.

• Staircases (poor lighting, loose flooring, absent or broken handrails, irregular steps)
• Weather related hazards (ice and rain water)
