If you were injured because a property was unsafe, you may have the right to compensation. At GotInjured.ca, our experienced Ontario premises liability lawyers help injured individuals hold negligent property owners accountable and pursue the financial recovery they deserve.
Property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe. When they fail to do so, serious injuries can occur — often when people least expect it.
Premises liability refers to injuries caused by unsafe or poorly maintained properties. In Ontario, these cases are governed primarily by the Occupiers’ Liability Act, which requires property owners and occupiers to take reasonable steps to ensure visitors are safe.
This duty applies to many types of properties, including:
Commercial buildings
Rental properties
Retail stores
Parking lots
Private residences
Public spaces
If an occupier fails to address hazards or warn visitors of dangers, they may be legally responsible for resulting injuries.
Premises liability accidents can happen almost anywhere. Some of the most common cases we handle include:
Slip and fall accidents
Snow and ice-related injuries
Wet or uneven flooring
Broken or poorly maintained stairs
Inadequate lighting
Falling objects
Unsafe sidewalks or parking lots
These incidents often lead to serious injuries that disrupt your life, work, and finances.
Depending on the circumstances, liability may fall on one or more parties, including:
Property owners
Landlords
Business owners
Property management companies
Municipalities or government entities
Our Ontario premises liability lawyers carefully investigate each case to determine who is legally responsible.
Premises accidents can cause a wide range of injuries, such as:
Broken bones and fractures
Head and traumatic brain injuries
Spinal cord and back injuries
Soft tissue injuries
Long-term or permanent disabilities
Even injuries that seem minor at first can lead to lasting complications. Getting legal advice early is critical.
To succeed in a premises liability case in Ontario, you generally must prove:
The occupier owed you a duty of care
The property was unsafe or hazardous
The occupier failed to take reasonable steps to prevent harm
The unsafe condition caused your injury
You suffered damages (medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering)
