Slip & Falls
Injuries caused by slips and falls can have long-lasting effects. If the injuries are the result of the negligence of an individual, municipality or business, then the injured person can claim compensation for their injuries and ongoing treatments. Our experienced legal team acts quickly to protect your rights.
Because there is often no obvious insurance company funding treatment, slip and fall injuries can be difficult. Therefore, it is important to commence a law suit quickly in order that treatment can be sustained.
In Ontario, there are varying time limits for bringing an action for an injury sustained in a slip and fall. Missing this limitation period, can result in the person losing their right to sue. In a private slip and fall, an individual usually has six years to bring a claim. However, if the incident occurred on property belonging to a municipality or the province, that time frame can be much shorter. For some municipalities, the time frame is seven days. Strype Barristers LLP can quickly determine the limits for making your claim and act to protect your rights.
The experienced team at Strype Barristers LLP will help determine whether the injuries sustained by your slip and fall are the result of negligence and whether you have a valid claim.
