Falls and Other Personal Injuries
Girones Lawyers are experienced lawyers who provide slip and fall, and personal injury litigation services for people in Ontario, Canada.
The Occupier’s Liability Act states that it is the duty of the occupier of public space or the owner of the land to make sure that the property is safe. If you (or a family member or a friend) has suffered a slip and fall or personal injury on another’s property, you may have reason to sue for your pain and suffering, and financial losses.
Generally, there is a two (2) year limitation from the date of the injury in which you can sue. However, in some cases, the notice period can be a short as ten (10) days, as in the case of municipalities. It is in your best interest to contact a qualified personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to get advice.
Girones Lawyers works with you (the plaintiff) to determine the impact of the injury on your life: pain and suffering, financial loss, future prognosis for recovery, future treatment requirements. All this information helps us to assess your case. Should we proceed to litigate your case, there are various opportunities to settle prior to taking the case to trial. Girones Lawyers will only settle if we can get you a fair compensation for your injury; otherwise, we take your case to trial.
Advice for People Who Have Suffered a Fall or Personal Injury
At Girones Lawyers, we have successfully litigated thousands of personal injury claims for injured people. If you, a family member, or a friend, have suffered a personal injury, Girones Lawyers offers the following advice:
- Take photographs of the area where the personal injury occurred. If the claim goes to trial, the jury will want to see evidence of the condition of the area. If you cannot return to the area, ask a family member or friend to take photographs on your behalf.
- If you slip and fall because of ice or snow, keep your footwear as evidence for the trial.
- Be wary of publishing personal information on social networks (facebook, twitter). Insurance companies may visit your social networks.
- Know that insurance companies sometimes perform surveillance of personal injury victims.
