Slip and Fall Lawyer
We’re here to fight for you.
According to Ontario law, it is the responsibility of the store, other business or private property owner to take reasonable steps to ensure the safety of anyone who enters their premises. Cracked or broken sidewalks, slippery steps, ice-covered parking lots, or objects on the floor suggests that someone has failed to keep the premises safe.
If you have been injured as a result of a slip and fall or trip and fall there are several things you should do immediately to ensure you get the compensation you deserve.
