Slip and Fall Accidents

The term "trip and fall" refers to falls as a result of broken pavement, loose carpet or any other condition which makes the surface where one is walking uneven and dangerous. The term can also refer to falls as a result of broken pavement, wet floor, loose carpet or any other condition which makes the surface where one is walking slippery or dangerous. Injuries from these types of accidents can range from a scraped or bruised knee to extremely serious fractures requiring extensive surgery. Head and spinal injuries have been known to result from these type of accidents.

The firm of Singer, Kwinter has established a solid reputation in representing accident victims who have suffered serious injuries as a result of a slip and fall accident. Alf Kwinter was counsel for the injured Plaintiff in the case of Urzi v. North York Board of Education, one of the leading Ontario cases dealing with a slip and fall accident in front of a public school. The court found that the school had neglected to sand or salt the walkway in front of the school and awarded damages to a student's mother who had come to the school to see her daughter off on a field trip.
