Negligence Lawyer in Toronto

If a duty of care has not been met and you were injured as the result of negligent behaviour or actions, then seeking compensation is your right. In some cases this may be an occupier responsible for creating or not repairing a hazard. Hazards include but are not limited to spills, ice, debris, dangerous stairways, inappropriate railings, lack of warning signs, insufficient lighting, unexpected potholes, uneven surfaces, and/or unmaintained areas. Hazards can be defects in the building design or wear and tear due to lack of maintenance.

Property owners, managers, municipalities and occupiers are required to ensure their premises are reasonably safe for invitees including visitors, customers, members of the public and pedestrians. This is especially true in commercial or retail properties where occupiers invite members of the public onto their property to sell goods and make a profit. Occupiers have an obligation to inspect and regularly maintain their premises. For commercial premises, this includes training and supervising their employees, hiring subcontractors to ensure maintenance in the winter months, and general upkeep all year round.

Some hazards are temporary conditions such as snow and ice which change with the weather. Other temporary conditions include spills which may be quickly cleaned up. In these instances, where the hazard no longer exists, incident reports and witness testimony are critical pieces of evidence. Neinstein lawyers use their resources, knowledge and expertise to ensure the best evidence is used to prove your case.

Other general negligence claims may not be confined to an occupier but result from other forms of negligence. This can include negligence of professionals, taverns, bars or restaurants serving alcohol, physicians, hospitals and nursing homes. Any person or institution can be liable for negligent acts.

The first few days following an accident are critical. Certain types of slip/trip and fall claims or municipal claims require legal notice to be sent within days after an accident. Failure to do so, could mean an injured person is left without recourse.
