Your Advocate for Slip and Fall Claims
Slip and fall accidents can occur unexpectedly and lead to serious injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries or spinal cord damage. In Alberta, property owners have a legal duty to ensure their premises are safe for visitors. When they fail to meet this obligation, accidents can happen, and you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
Understanding Your Rights
Under Alberta’s Occupiers’ Liability Act, property owners and occupiers must take reasonable care to ensure the safety of visitors. This means they must actively maintain their premises to prevent hazards like wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poorly lit areas. If they neglect this duty, they can be held liable for any resulting injuries.
Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents
- Wet or slippery floors
- Uneven or unstable surfaces
- Cluttered or poorly lit walkways
- Hazardous staircases and ramps
Seeking Compensation
If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall accident, you may be eligible for compensation to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. It’s important to act quickly, as gathering evidence and documenting the conditions that led to your fall can strengthen your claim.
