Slip or trip and falls can represent serious injuries for plaintiffs, and serious liabilities for defendant owner-occupiers. Understanding these beguilingly straightforward files is of critical importance to both the plaintiff bar and the defence bar – and all points in between. Liability in the context of these claims is more complicated than mere evidence of a fall and resultant injuries. As well, the case law related to this topic is evolving rapidly, particularly in regards to the Occupiers’ Liability Act.
Whether you are new to this area or just want to stay up-to-date, this video will provide you with practical hands-on guidance and valuable tools you can use immediately.
