What is an unsafe premises (premises liability) injury claim in Ontario?

An unsafe premises claim (often called a premises liability claim) is a legal claim for injuries caused by unsafe conditions on someone else’s property. This can include hazards in stores, apartment buildings, parking lots, restaurants, offices, or private homes.

What should I do after I’m injured on someone else’s property?

Get medical care first. Then, document the hazard before it changes.

Helpful steps:

  • Report the incident to the owner/manager and ask for an incident report
  • Take photos/video of the hazard (wet floor, broken stairs, poor lighting, uneven pavement, missing handrails)
  • Get witness names and contact info
  • Ask if there’s surveillance video and request it be preserved
  • Keep medical records, receipts, and notes about symptoms
What are common examples of unsafe premises accidents?

People often search “unsafe property injury” and “premises liability” after incidents like:

  • Slip and fall / trip and fall accidents
  • Broken or uneven stairs/steps
  • Poor lighting in hallways or parking lots
  • Icy walkways or unmaintained entrances
  • Falling objects or unsafe shelving
  • Loose railings, broken flooring, or potholes
Do I have a claim if I slipped, tripped, or fell but there was no warning sign?

Possibly. Warning signs can matter, but the bigger question is whether the property was reasonably maintained and whether the hazard should have been fixed or clearly warned about. Evidence (photos, witnesses, incident reports, video) is often key.

What if the property owner says it’s my fault?

Don’t assume you have no case. Fault can be shared, and these claims often come down to whether the property owner/occupier took reasonable steps to prevent injuries. A lawyer can help protect you from unfair blame and gather the evidence needed

What compensation can I get for an unsafe premises injury in Ontario?

People often search “premises liability compensation” and “slip and fall settlement.” Depending on your injuries and losses, compensation may include:

  • Medical and rehabilitation costs
  • Income loss / loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Future care needs
  • Out-of-pocket expenses
How long do I have to file an unsafe premises injury claim in Ontario?

Time limits can apply, and evidence like surveillance footage can be deleted quickly. If you were injured, it’s smart to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible to confirm the limitation period and any notice requirements that may apply.
