Property owners and occupiers have a legal duty to maintain their premises safely for visitors. When they fail to meet this standard and their negligence causes you harm, they must be held accountable. We launch an immediate investigation to gather crucial evidence—photos of the hazard, witness statements, maintenance records, and weather data—to prove the owner knew or should have known about the danger and failed to act.
From challenging negligent business owners to pursuing claims against municipalities for poorly maintained public spaces, we fight for compensation covering your medical treatment, lost income, and the pain and suffering caused by a fall that should never have happened.
Property owners and their insurers know exactly what evidence can destroy their defence—security footage, maintenance logs, incident reports, and weather data. The moment you’re injured, they begin a systematic campaign to eliminate or control every piece of proof that could expose their negligence.
We’ve seen businesses suddenly “lose” security footage, municipalities claim they don’t maintain records of snow clearing, and property managers conveniently forget about previous complaints. Our investigation team moves faster than their damage control efforts.
Most personal injury lawyers treat slip and fall cases as paperwork exercises—file the claim, negotiate with insurance, settle quickly. We treat them as what they are: battles against property owners who prioritize profits over safety.
Our approach is immediate and overwhelming. We secure expert witnesses who can prove the property’s dangerous condition, bring in engineers to document code violations, and deploy investigators who know how to find the evidence property owners thought they destroyed. When we’re finished building your case, the defendants understand they’re not facing a settlement mill—they’re facing trial warriors who will expose their negligence in front of a jury.
Suing a municipality requires specialized knowledge of government liability laws, strict notice requirements, and political dynamics that can affect your case. Cities have teams of lawyers whose job is to deny, delay, and defend every claim using taxpayer money.
We’ve successfully fought municipal claims involving icy sidewalks, broken stairs in public buildings, and poorly maintained roads. These cases require aggressive pursuit because municipalities count on citizens giving up when faced with bureaucratic obstacles and tight deadlines.
The owner or occupier of the property (an individual, business, or municipality) may be liable if a hazardous condition caused the fall they negligently failed to address.
We must demonstrate that the property owner/occupier failed to take reasonable steps to ensure the premises were safe, that they knew or should have known about the hazard, and that this failure directly caused your fall and injuries.
Seek medical attention immediately. If possible and safe, document the scene and the hazard with photos or video before it’s changed. Report the fall to the property owner/manager and get witness information. Do not provide a detailed statement to anyone without legal advice.
Yes, absolutely critical notice periods apply, particularly for falls on municipal property (like sidewalks or roads). In many provinces, you must provide written notice to the municipality within a very short timeframe (often 7 or 10 days) of the incident. Failure to provide timely notice can bar your claim entirely.
Yes. Property owners must take reasonable steps to clear ice and snow within a reasonable time frame after precipitation. If they fail to do so and you fall and are injured, they may be liable.
You can seek compensation for your pain and suffering, past and future medical and rehabilitation expenses, lost income, and other out-of-pocket expenses resulting from the injury.
