Slip and Fall Accidents - Owner and Occupier Liability - Ottawa Personal Injury Lawyers Seek Compensation for Injured Clients

Ottawa is the nation’s capital and the centre of tourism for Canada. It is a place where people from all over the world attend to visit and live. Tourists and residents rely on business establishments to provide a safe environment for shopping. Unfortunately, most cases of fall accidents happen in local businesses where hundreds and perhaps thousands of people attend each day.

Under the provisions of the Occupier’s Liability Act of Ontario, it is not the customer who is responsible to maintain property and keep it safe for use, it is the owner and/or occupier’s responsibility.

If a property has hazardous conditions that may present a danger to others, it must be maintained so as to avoid accidents. Occupiers and owners have a legal responsibility to keep their customers and everyone using the property safe. Customers should not be concerned or worried about their safety when shopping.

If an injury occurs because of a careless owner or occupier, our lawyers can help you seek the compensation you deserve. Our lawyers handle premise liability and all other personal injury cases caused by falls of all types. Our personal injury lawyers represent injured persons to settle cases and attend court hearings where settlement is not possible but for litigation.

Whether the cause of the fall is because of obvious or hidden hazardous conditions of the property such as slippery floors, wet floors, uneven floors, uneven surfaces, obstructed surfaces, obstructed walkways or aisles, etc..., owners and/or occupiers must ensure the property is safe. If they do not, they will be held liable to pay the injured persons compensation. We help clients obtain millions in compensation each year.

If you have been injured in a slip and fall or trip and fall accident and you believe it was due to the negligence of another person, you have the right to claim compensation. Hiring an experienced personal injury lawyer is the best way to ensure you obtain fair compensation.
