One of the top leading causes for accidents in Ontario are slip & fall accidents. Such accidents can cause soft-tissue injuries, fractures, cuts and bruises, and spinal cord or brain injuries, which can lead to severe damage that can become permanent.
The claim process for slip and fall accidents is very complex due to many factors, such as limitations and liability. Even though unintended slip and falls are quite common, the misconceptions surrounding the claim process can potentially derail a successful claim for compensation. Despite what your friends may tell you, slip and fall victims are not automatically entitled to compensation paid by the owner of the property on which the accident occurred. The truth of the matter is, in order to file a successful claim for compensation, the victim must meet strict requirements while being aware of the time limitations. Notice must be given to the at-fault party from the injured victim within a certain time period. This can be as short as ten days for a municipality. A common occurrence is having unrepresented injury victims try to figure out exactly who is liable for their slip and fall, with property owners pointing fingers at the property managers and vice versa, while the victim's time limitation expires.
