Slip and Fall
For over 45 years, the legal team at Cohen Highley LLP has represented clients who have sustained serious injuries in slip and fall accidents. Slip and fall accidents can be dangerous and, in Ontario, they happen all-too frequently. In fact, slip and fall accidents are among Ontario’s leading causes of injuries that require hospitalization. Injuries sustained in slip and fall accidents can lead to impaired mobility, diminished qualities of life, lengthy recovery processes, and substantial financial losses.
COHEN HIGHLEY SLIP AND FALL LAWYERS
If a client has sustained injuries in a slip and fall accident on someone else’s property, our personal injury lawyers may be able to help them recover financial compensation for injury-related damages. Property owners/occupiers have a legal obligation to reasonably provide a duty of care to other people on their premises. If owners/occupiers fail to adequately maintain their properties, both indoors and outside, they may be liable for accidents that occur because of their negligence.
Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere, to anybody. If the accident occurred on residential or commercial property owned and/or operated by another party, or if the accident occurred in a public setting, it is possible that someone else’s negligence may have played a role in causing it.

- Snow and ice
