Unfortunately, accidents can happen, but if you slip and fall on someone else’s property, you may be entitled to damages caused by dangerous premises.
Premises liability negligence laws allow B.C. residents to recover compensation based on the extent of the injuries they sustained while on another’s property. If you or a loved one was injured after an accident on someone else’s property, you may be entitled to:
- Treatment costs
- Lost income while recuperating
- Pain and suffering
In instances of severe slip and fall injury, such as spinal cord or brain injuries, you may be entitled to collect a substantial amount to cover the costs of present and future therapy and treatment.
What kind of accident happens the most?
The most common type of accident is a slip-and-fall accident, caused by:
- Unsafe flooring
- Uneven concrete
- Obstacles in walkways
- Unsafe stairs
- Slippery surfaces
If you slip and fall on someone else’s property due to premises liability negligence, there are early steps you can take to protect your case, including:
- Finding out the property owner’s name.
- Discovering the names of any witnesses.
- Taking photographs of the scene if possible.
