The term "trip and fall" or “slip and fall” refers to falls as a result of any condition which makes the surface where one is walking uneven and potentially hazardous. Slip and falls can occur as a result of broken pavement, wet floor, loose carpet or any other unstable surface. Injuries from these types of accidents can range from a bruised knee to serious fractures requiring extensive surgery.
The law in Ontario states that it is the responsibility of the store, business, or private property owner to ensure the safety of anyone who enters onto their premises. Slip and fall accidents can occur anywhere, from a spill on the floor at the supermarket to a neighbor not clearing his/her driveway of ice. When filing a lawsuit for a slip and fall case, you must be able to prove negligence on the part of the property owner.
