Slip & Fall Injuries

Do You Need a Slip, Trip and Fall Lawyer?

Slips and falls are one of the leading causes of injury across Ontario. These types of accidents can occur when someone slips and falls as a result of a hazardous or dangerous condition on someone else’s property. A slip, trip and fall injury can be perilous – a broken step, ice, a debris-littered floor, or uneven pavement can lead to a wide range of injuries, from a broken arm or leg to permanent injuries that result in partial or full paralysis.

Owners of public and private properties must offer a safe environment for all visitors, both outside and inside their property. Wet conditions, poor lighting, icy walkways, debris and pedestrian areas in disrepair can all lead to slips, trips and falls. Inside a property, stairs, escalators and floors may be in a condition that is unfit for pedestrians. Any of these situations could cause slips, trips, or falls that result in a serious and life-changing injury.

If you’ve been injured through a slip and fall, or in any other way as a result of someone’s carelessness or negligence, call Bergel, Magence LLP today to speak with one of our slip and fall lawyers and get your legal proceedings started.

Can a Slip and Fall Lawyer Help With My Accident?

If you’ve been injured through slipping, tripping or falling on someone else’s property, they may be held liable for your injuries. You typically have two years within which you can begin legal proceedings around your slip, trip or fall injury.

What Our Clients Say

“Our daughter had a very serious brain injury. We contacted eleven personal injury law firms, none of which were willing to help us. We then contacted the firm of Bergel, Magence LLP. We could not have had a more involved team looking after our daughter and her case. Their tenacity, strategy and actual caring for our daughter were beyond words. Our daughter received a settlement of more that $1,150,000 and her lawyer is still in contact with us nearly two years later. We highly recommend Bergel, Magence LLP.”
Moria D., Elizabeth D. & Ken D. – Kingston

“My foot swelled up as a result of a car accident. My previous lawyer told me that my case would not even meet the threshold. I switched to Bergel law firm who settled my case for $1,100,000.”
N. Claire – Barrie

“After my husband’s tragic accident, I was at a loss and didn’t know where to turn. At the recommendation of a good friend, I called Jeremy Magence. From our first meeting, it was obvious that I wasn’t going to be treated as just a file, but that he cared about me and my husband. Mr. Magence always made himself available when I needed his advice and accommodated my schedule. His dedication, professionalism, diligence and caring left me feeling that our interests were well looked after. I appreciate that he settled our claim for $725,000 and am forever grateful to Jeremy Magence and his staff at Bergel, Magence for what they have done for me and my family.”
