The owners of businesses, residences, and other properties in Banff, Beaumont, and Chestermere have a responsibility to maintain them and keep them safe. Serious slip or trip and fall accidents are a common occurrence when owners and managers are negligent and do not correct or repair hazardous conditions on their properties. If you or a loved one was seriously injured in a slip or trip and fall accident, you may be entitled to restitution for damages as well as your pain and suffering.

The current version of the OLA or Occupier’s Liability Act which has been in force since 05-01-04 states that an occupier or owner:

“ . . . of a premises owes a duty to take such care as in all the circumstances of the case is reasonable to see that each person entering on the premises and the property brought on the premises by that person are reasonably safe while on the premises.”

In other words, the prevention of slip or trip and fall accidents is the owner’s or person in charge’s responsibility.

An injury lawyer that specializes in slip and fall accidents is best suited to help you  or a loved one if either or you have sustained injuries on someone’s property.
