S. S.

A large amount of slip and falls occur during the winter months due to increment weather conditions, whether it be outdoors in icy conditions or as a result of unkempt sidewalks. Some slip and falls occur inside a shopping mall, grocery store, or other interior location.

Other common causes of slip and fall injuries include wet conditions, poor lighting or uneven walking surfaces. Objects left in pedestrian areas can also lead to injuries.

Slip and fall cases are frequently dealt with within the context of the Occupier’s Liability Act. If you slipped and fell on a city sidewalk or road, it is imperative that you contact the City and/or Municipality within ten (10) business days to report your fall.

For any slip and fall claims, it is important that you contact a lawyer immediately to investigate liability and to protect all statutory limitations.
