Slip and Fall Lawyer North Bay

Servicing North Bay and all of Ontario

The belief that falls are normal part of aging is common, but it’s not always true. Although older adults are more likely to sustain injuries from falls than other age groups, the vast majority of falls are preventable. North Bay’s public health unit has adopted a fall prevention strategy called “Stay on Your Feet” that is designed to help older residents stay active, independent and on their feet.

The program lists nine steps to prevent a fall that advise a person to maintain good posture and balance, stay active and healthy, and to “identify, remove and report hazards.” While this is good advice, unfortunately sometimes we don’t recognize a hazard until it’s too late and we find ourselves laying on the ground. And if another person, business or institution has been negligent in allowing that hazard to remain in place without being clearly marked, even this fall prevention program may not help us avoid it.

Icy sidewalks, slippery wet surfaces, loose carpeting, protruding objects, poorly lit areas, and unmarked pot holes and broken pavement can all cause or contribute to falls that lead to serious injuries and temporary or permanent disability. From broken bones, to cuts and scarring, to brain and spine trauma, when another person’s negligent actions or inaction has caused you harm, you may be able to claim compensation and damages for your losses.
