Property owners are responsible for keeping their properties safe and for warning occupants, visitors and patrons of any potential harm.

If you were injured in a slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall accident that was caused by the negligence of a property owner or occupier, you may be able to pursue legal action. Our team helps injured people throughout Eastern Ontario, and we’re here to help you, too.
Act Quickly — These Types Of Cases Have Strict Time Limits
Often, a slip-and-fall injury resolves itself quickly. Unfortunately, we don’t always know which injuries will resolve and which may take a long time to heal and turn out to be much more serious than initially thought.
