Can I Sue for Slip and Fall in Calgary?
Slip and fall accidents are often the results of poorly maintained property. Slippery parking lots or walkways may also cause them during the long Calgary winters or by wet floors in establishments.
Alberta law enables individuals hurt in a slip-and-fall situation to pursue legal action against the person who caused their injury. You can do this by filing a tort claim and requesting compensation for damages, including pain and suffering, lost wages from employment, and demands for medical care. Stephens Holman Devraj’s experienced slip and fall accident lawyers can help maximize the compensation by helping represent a strong case.
Common Causes of Slip and Falls
While adverse weather conditions are one of the major causes of slips, there may be other causes, including:
-
Icy walkways, sidewalks, or stairs
-
Wet floors in restaurants or stores
-
Freshly mopped floors
-
Poorly built stairways
-
Potholes in sidewalks
Who Is Liable for a Slip and Fall Accident?
Typically, a claim may be lodged against the owner or occupier of the location where you slipped. This frequently occurs in business parking lots or on business property. However, you can sometimes sue the property owner or the City.
