London Slip And Fall Lawyer

Nobody expects to be involved in a serious accident, and few people are financially prepared for just how costly the process of recovery can be. At Preszler Injury Lawyers, we believe that no one should be forced to pay the cost of someone else’s negligence. And in London, many accidents that occur on commercial or residential properties owned and/or occupied by other parties or entities are often the result of someone else’s negligence. 

The legal responsibilities of property owners/occupiers are detailed in the province’s Occupiers’ Liability Act. In the context of premises liability claims, the term “occupier” could refer to:

• Landlords 
• Property managers 
• Business owners/managers
• Maintenance technicians 
• Landscapers
• Superintendents 
• Tenants
• Anyone who controls access to the space
• Anyone responsible for the property’s maintenance
• And more 

According to provincial legislation, anyone who owns/occupies commercial or residential property owes their guests a duty of care. Therefore, it is incumbent upon property owners/occupiers to take proactive, preemptive precautions to keep their premises clear of potentially dangerous hazards. That means, they have a legal obligation to take the safety of others into consideration, to routinely inspect their premises for unsafe conditions, and address any issues that pose a threat to human health in a timely and efficient manner. Failure to do so could be considered negligence. 

In the immediate aftermath of a slip and fall accident, it can be difficult to know which steps to take next, especially if the incident causes an accident victim to sustain injuries. Many people instinctively blame themselves or their own clumsiness after slipping and falling in public or on someone else’s property, and so they do their best to leave the accident scene and put the embarrassing incident behind them as quickly as possible.

However, many slip and fall accidents in London are, in fact, the result of another party or entity’s negligence. It may not be apparent to victims in the shock that follows an injury-causing accident, but oftentimes slips and falls are entirely preventable; they occur only because of someone else’s failure to fulfill their legal obligations. 

If the negligence of a property owner/occupier causes another person to sustain injuries in a slip and fall, the responsible party may be required to provide their injured victims with financial compensation for expenses they have incurred as a result of being involved in the slip and fall accident. By working with our London slip and fall accident lawyers, injured accident survivors in the region may be able to recover the maximum amount of compensation to which they are rightfully owed.
