Slip and Fall Accidents – Do You Have a Case?

Slip and fall accidents can lead to serious injuries that affect your ability to work or enjoy everyday life. If your fall happened on someone else’s property and was caused by unsafe conditions, you may be entitled to compensation.

At Hilborn and Konduros, we help people in Kitchener, Waterloo, and surrounding areas understand whether they have a claim and what steps to take next.

Common Places Where Falls Happen

We often see slip and fall cases involving:

• Icy sidewalks and driveways

• Wet floors in stores or restaurants

• Uneven pavement or damaged stairs

• Poor lighting in hallways or parking lots

These types of hazards can occur on private, commercial, or municipal property.

Who Is Responsible?

Property owners, landlords, and managers are legally required to keep their premises reasonably safe. If they fail to address hazards or warn visitors about them, they can be held liable for injuries under Ontario’s Occupiers’ Liability Act.

What to Do After a Fall

If you’re injured, here’s what you should do:

• See a doctor right away, even if the injury seems minor

• Take photos of the scene and what caused the fall

• Get names and contact information for any witnesses

• Report the incident to the property owner or manager

• Speak with a lawyer before accepting any settlement offer

Know Your Rights

If your injuries have caused you to miss work, require ongoing treatment, or affect your quality of life, you may be eligible for compensation. A local personal injury lawyer can help you understand your options and guide you through the claims process.
