Ottawa Slip and Fall Lawyers
Slip and fall accidents sometimes referred to as “trip and fall”, are a significant cause of personal injuries in Ontario. They can result from a myriad of conditions making a passageway unstable and unsafe. Some of those conditions can include but are not limited to icy road/walkways, uneven concrete, loose carpets, unmarked holes, improperly built structures, and more.
Owners and other occupiers of property (for example, people who are renting property and operating as stores or restaurants) are responsible to ensure that you are safe while on their property. If you are injured in a slip/trip and fall in Ottawa, then the owner and/or occupier of that property may be responsible to compensate you for any damages you have suffered as a result of the accident. That compensation can include pain and suffering, loss of income, medical/rehabilitation cost, out-of-pocket expenses, and more. As well, if the injuries are significant it is also possible for family members to be compensated for any help that they have had to give you including time off work, taking you to medical appointments, helping around the house, and so on.
