Slip and Fall Lawyer Brampton

Brampton's Winter Slip-and-Fall Reality

Between November and March, Brampton's emergency rooms — Brampton Civic Hospital and Peel Memorial Centre — see a 300% surge in slip-and-fall injuries. The combination of freezing rain, lake-effect snow, and inconsistent snow-removal by property owners creates conditions that should never have existed.

Under Ontario's Occupiers' Liability Act, property owners have a duty to take reasonable steps to keep their premises safe — salting walkways, repairing broken steps, fixing torn carpets, warning of hazards. When they fail and you're injured, you can claim compensation.

Critical: 10-Day Notice for Municipal Falls

If you fell on a sidewalk or public road in Brampton maintained by the City, you must give the municipality written notice within 10 days. Miss that deadline and your claim against the City is permanently barred. This is one of the most-missed deadlines in Ontario tort law — call us the same day if at all possible.
