Recovering Compensation in Premises Liability or Occupier's Liability Cases
Property owners, occupiers and municipalities have the responsibility to keep their properties well-maintained and well-lit to prevent visitors from injuring themselves. When they do not take the proper steps to ensure the safety of their premises, they may be held liable should you suffer injury from a slip, trip or fall.
If you or a loved one has been the victim of a slip-and-fall accident, you may have the right to pursue legal action against property owners, occupiers, contractors or municipalities for premises liability or occupier's liability. We at the law office of Timothy H. Leigh-Bell can help you. With more than 30 years of experience, Mississauga lawyer Tim-Leigh Bell will explore all your options to obtain compensation for any medical expenses and economic losses you may have sustained as a result of your injury.
Representing Those Injured in Slip-and-Fall Accidents
