What Counts as a Slip and Fall Claim?
You’ve been injured in a slip and fall. You’re in pain, overwhelmed, and unsure if anyone will take responsibility. We understand how frustrating and isolating this can feel. That’s why we’re here to guide you forward with clarity and confidence. In Ontario, a slip and fall claim may arise when you’re injured because a property owner, landlord, or occupier failed to maintain a safe environment. You may have a valid premises liability claim if your injury occurred due to conditions such as:
Wet or slippery floors
Broken, uneven, or poorly maintained stairs, sidewalks, or flooring
Loose mats, rugs, or cables
Debris or clutter in walkways
Who May Be Liable?
In Ontario, liability for a slip and fall injury can rest with property owners, landlords, business operators, or municipalities—anyone responsible for maintaining safe premises. Under the Occupiers’ Liability Act, these parties must take reasonable steps to prevent hazards such as ice, spills, or uneven surfaces. If they fail to do so and you are injured, you may have a valid premises liability claim with the help of an experienced slip and fall lawyer at FDT Law. We can hold them accountable for your damages.
What You Can Be Compensated For
If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall, you may be entitled to slip and fall compensation for medical expenses, lost income, rehabilitation costs, and pain and suffering. In serious cases, this can include long-term disability benefits if your injury prevents you from returning to work. Our experienced fall injury lawyers in Ontario work to ensure you’re not left bearing the financial burden of someone else’s negligence, especially when insurers delay, deny, or underpay valid premises liability claims.
How FDT Law Can Help

We take over all communications and negotiations, cutting through the jargon and protecting your rights every step of the way. We Gather the Evidence You Need: Slip and fall claims can be denied due to missing or incomplete medical records.
