Slip and Fall Rules You Must Know
If you or someone you know has been involved in a slip and fall accident, here are four rules to follow if you want to be quickly and fairly compensated for your pain and suffering.
Rule #1 It Ain’t Your Fault!
Everyone who owns, manages, rents or maintains a property in Ontario has a legal duty to keep you safe when you are on that property. If you suffer a slip and fall accident on their property, even if you are partially at fault, you can still make a successful claim for any injury suffered.
Rule #2 If You Can, Take Photos/Videos and Speak to Witnesses
If you are able, be sure take photos and videos of the accident site immediately after the accident has occurred: show the patch of ice on the sidewalk that you slipped on, the broken floorboard you tripped on, the pizza sauce oozing from the broken pizza sauce bottle you slipped and fell into at the supermarket, etc. And if there were witnesses, get their names and phone numbers. However, if you require urgent medical attention and taking photos/videos is not possible immediately after the accident, you or a friend or family member should try to return to the accident scene to take them as soon as possible.
Rule #3: A Clock is Ticking, so Contact Us Immediately
Most people involved in a slip and fall accident don't realize that you must file a claim shortly after the accident occurred or you could be denied compensation for your injuries. Your ability to seek and receive the compensation you deserve may depend upon the speed with which you are able to access a lawyer.
Time is of the essence, so call 1-888-341-5889 24/7 and speak directly to one of our Law Society of Ontario Licenced Slip and Fall lawyers. The initial consultation is always free. If necessary, we can travel to you when your injury prevents you from coming to us!

Our Proprietary Approach to Slip and Fall Cases
On Injury Law has developed a proprietary step-by-step approach to helping its clients regain their health while getting the compensation they deserve from those responsible for their slip and fall injuries.
Step #1: Taking Care of You and Your Family
The aftermath of a slip and fall accident can be traumatic. Many slip and fall victims suffer agonizing pain for months or even years, seriously impacting their quality of life. Rest assured that as the true extent of your injuries reveal themselves, and you gradually come to understand how your life has been altered by your accident, our caring lawyers will be there to guide and assist you every step of the way. They are dedicated to helping you gain access to the best possible medical, psychological, and rehabilitative care available to treat your specific injuries, as well as helping you obtain support for your family and dependents during your recovery.
Step #2: Getting You the Maximum Compensation You Deserve!
Although some people might walk away from a slip and fall with only minor injuries, unfortunately, that’s not always the case. Depending on where and how they fell and how hard they hit, serious injuries like a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) or spinal cord injuries that can trigger paralysis often occur, requiring many weeks or months of physical therapy and many surgeries to recover. Hence the need for speed in getting slip and fall victims the compensation they deserve.
In parallel with your medical and psychological recovery, your lawyer will be working together with you to develop a compelling case for you to be adequately compensated for your pain and suffering. Cities and towns, businesses and private property owners are responsible for keeping their premises safe. We will ensure that those responsible for your injury are identified, and your claim for damages is prepared and delivered to the defendants, and most importantly, filed with the court on time.
Step # 3: You Don’t Pay Legal Fees Until We Win for You
Our lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no legal fees unless we win your case.
