Settlement amounts in slip and fall cases vary depending on the severity of your injuries, medical costs, lost income, and how your injury affects your daily life.

Yes, having a lawyer after a slip and fall injury is crucial.

These cases can be legally complex, involving strict deadlines, liability questions, and negotiations with insurance companies that often aim to minimize payouts. Experienced lawyers understand Ontario’s laws and compensation limits, helping you gather evidence, prove negligence, and protect your rights.

With professional legal support, you’re far more likely to secure fair compensation and avoid costly mistakes.

It’s possible to share some responsibility in a slip and fall case if your own actions contributed to the accident, such as ignoring warning signs or being distracted. However, property owners still have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions and warn visitors of potential hazards.

In Ontario, the concept of “contributory negligence” may reduce your compensation if you are partially at fault, but it doesn’t necessarily prevent you from recovering damages.

An experienced lawyer can help assess the details of your case and ensure your rights are protected, no matter the level of fault.
