Holding Negligent Property Owners Accountable

People fall due to slips and trips every day. Fortunately, most can get up and brush it off. However, a serious fall injury can result in expensive medical bills, lost wages, intense physical pain, and even permanent disability. There are a myriad of circumstances under which a slip and fall can occur, but they are frequently the direct result of property owner negligence.

Under Alberta's Occupiers’ Liability Act, it is the property owner’s strict responsibility to ensure their premises are safe for visitors to use. For example, if you slipped and broke your wrist on stairs that had not been properly cleared of ice and snow, the property owner may be liable for your resulting damages.
