Slipped and Fell - Kitchener Personal Injury & Disability Lawyers

Video Transcript

It’s time for a legal minute with the professionals from Dietrich Law. A customer slipped and fell on a wet floor at a local department store. The fall resulted in an injury that required several weeks off work. What rights does this individual have? Under the Ontario Occupier’s Liability Act, the owner of a store, or the owner of the mall or building where a wet floor is located, can be liable. It depends on who is responsible for the care and maintenance of the wet floor when it was last inspected, and whether they warned visitors of the danger. If they are liable, then they must compensate the injured person for their pain and suffering, income losses, and the cost of their medical treatment, expenses, and care – including paying back OHIP. Deciding who is responsible can involve multiple parties as most businesses involve landlords that perform some of these duties, and have cleaners and repair-persons also. There are strict limitation periods. Make sure you get advice from one of our region’s many qualified lawyers.
