Understanding Slip and Fall Accidents

In Alberta, property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe premises for visitors, whether they're patrons in a store, tenants in a building, or guests on private property. If property owners fail to address hazards or warn visitors of potential risks, they may be liable for any resulting injuries. At Cambria LLP, we work to hold negligent property owners accountable, ensuring that our clients receive the compensation they deserve for their injuries and losses.

Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents

Wet or Slippery Floors. Spills, wet surfaces, or recently mopped floors without warning signs.
Poor Lighting. Dimly lit areas that make it difficult to see potential hazards.
Uneven or Damaged Flooring. Loose tiles, torn carpets, uneven pavement, or cracked sidewalks.
Obstacles or Debris. Objects left in walkways, such as boxes, cords, or debris, that create tripping hazards.
Weather-Related Hazards. Snow and ice that hasn't been cleared from walkways, steps, or parking lots.

Types of Injuries Common in Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents can result in a wide range of injuries, from minor bruises to severe trauma. These injuries can disrupt your daily life, require extensive medical treatment, and, in some cases, lead to long-term health issues. At Cambria LLP, we work to secure compensation for all injury-related expenses, allowing you to focus on recovery without financial stress.

Common Slip and Fall Injuries

Sprains and Fractures. Wrist, ankle, and hip fractures are common due to the natural reflex to brace oneself during a fall.
Head Injuries. Concussions, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), and other head trauma from hitting the ground or other surfaces.
Back and Spine Injuries. Slips and falls can lead to serious back injuries, including herniated discs or spinal cord damage.
Soft Tissue Injuries. Torn ligaments, muscle strains, and bruising can cause pain and limit mobility.
Cuts and Abrasions. Falls can result in cuts or scrapes, particularly if the fall involves a rough or sharp surface.

Establishing Liability in Slip and Fall Cases

To successfully pursue a slip and fall claim, it's necessary to establish that the property owner or occupier was negligent and failed to meet their duty of care. At Cambria LLP, we gather evidence to demonstrate that a hazardous condition existed, the property owner knew or should have known about it, and they failed to address it in a timely manner.

Key Elements in Slip and Fall Liability

Duty of Care. Property owners must ensure their premises are safe for visitors, conduct regular inspections, and promptly address hazards.
Breach of Duty. If the property owner was aware (or should have been aware) of a hazard and failed to repair or warn visitors, this constitutes a breach.
Causation. We must demonstrate that the hazardous condition directly caused the slip and fall, leading to the injuries.
Damages. Compensation may be awarded for medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and other expenses related to the injury.
