Slip & Fall

Slip-and-fall accidents are very common. In Canada, where ice and snow are part of our lives for several months each year, it’s almost inevitable that you will experience this type of incident at some point in your life. However, occasionally a slip-and-fall accident will result in a serious injury. If you have sustained an injury because of a slip, trip, or fall, and it occurred because of someone else’s negligence, Sokoloff Lawyers can represent your interests in a personal injury claim.These types of accidents can occur in any setting from public sidewalks to private property, to an establishment such as a grocery store, restaurant or subway stations. Some of the most common scenarios for slip-and-fall accidents include surfaces that are wet (due to mopping, melting ice or snow, or spills,) icy stairs or sidewalks, or debris or hazards present on walkways. Slip-and-falls can cause minor injuries such as scrapes or wrist sprains, or more severe injuries like concussions, traumatic brain injury, and broken bones. A fall from a staircase or height may even result in catastrophic injury or death.
