Holding Negligent Property Owners Accountable

Under Ontario’s Occupiers’ Liability Act, property owners and occupiers have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe for visitors. When they fail in that duty, serious injuries can occur — and we’re here to make things right.

We handle claims arising from:

  • Icy, unsalted sidewalks and parking lots

  • Wet or slippery floors in retail stores and restaurants

  • Poorly lit stairwells or missing handrails

  • Broken pavement, uneven flooring, or potholes

  • Negligent property maintenance or snow removal

Critical Timelines for Slip and Fall Claims in Ontario

Time limits in slip and fall cases are strict — missing a deadline can jeopardize your entire claim. Here’s what you need to know:

10-Day Notice

If your fall happened on municipal property (like a city sidewalk in Mississauga, Brampton, or Toronto), you must send formal written notice within 10 days of the incident.

60-Day Notice

If your injury occurred due to snow or ice on private property, written notice must be provided within 60 days.

2-Year Limitation Period

Most lawsuits must be filed within two years of the accident under Ontario’s Limitations Act.

Because these rules are complex, it’s essential to contact a lawyer immediately after a fall to protect your rights.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long do I have to file a slip and fall claim in Ontario?

In most cases, you have two years from the date of the fall to start a lawsuit. However, shorter notice periods apply for municipal and private property snow-and-ice cases — 10 days and 60 days, respectively. Acting quickly ensures your claim remains valid.

2. What evidence do I need to prove my case?

The stronger your evidence, the better your outcome. Key evidence includes:

  • Photos or videos of the hazard (e.g., ice, water, or broken flooring)

  • Witness statements

  • Any incident reports filed

  • Medical records connecting your injuries to the fall

Our team helps you preserve and collect every critical piece of evidence before it’s lost.

3. What if I was partially at fault for my fall?

You can still receive compensation even if you were partly responsible. Ontario uses a contributory negligence system — your settlement may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but the property owner can still be held liable for their negligence.

4. What does a slip and fall lawyer do for me?

  • We handle every aspect of your case so you can focus on recovery:

  • Investigating the scene and gathering evidence

  • Dealing with insurance companies

  • Calculating your total losses (including future medical costs)

  • Negotiating a fair settlement or representing you in court

Our goal is to secure maximum compensation while reducing your stress.

5. How much is my slip and fall case worth?

  • Each case is unique. The value depends on factors such as:

  • Severity of your injuries

  • Impact on your ability to work

  • Cost of your medical and rehabilitation needs

  • The degree of negligence by the property owner

We’ll provide a clear estimate of your claim’s potential value during your free consultation.

6. What are your legal fees?

We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning no upfront cost and no legal fees unless we win.
Our “No Win, No Fee” guarantee ensures that every injured person — regardless of financial situation — can access justice.
