40+ Years Of Experience
Restaurant Staircase Fall Due to Broken Handrail
A business executive tumbled down a poorly lit staircase when a loose handrail gave way, resulting in multiple fractures and career-impacting cognitive issues from head trauma. The restaurant claimed they had no prior knowledge of the defect. Our slip and fall lawyers utilized Section 5(1)(a)(ii) of the Occupiers’ Liability Act regarding the duty to inspect premises, and presented evidence of previous complaints through discovery. We were able to assist the client in pursuing compensation for various losses, including future income impacts, under the framework established in Andrews v. Grand & Toy Alberta Ltd. [1978] 2 SCR 229.

Icy Apartment Complex Walkway Fall
A tenant sustained a severe concussion and back injuries after falling on an inadequately maintained icy walkway outside his apartment building. The property management company denied responsibility, claiming the weather was unforeseeable. Our slip and fall lawyers cited Section 6(1) of the Occupiers’ Liability Act regarding the higher duty of care for residential premises, along with Municipal Snow and Ice Removal Bylaw 4M81. We helped the tenant pursue compensation within the two-year limitation period established by the Limitations Act (RSA 2000, c L-12), which included amounts for income loss, medical expenses, and quality-of-life impacts.
Grocery Store Slip on Unmarked Wet Floor
A 62-year-old grandmother slipped on a recently mopped floor with no warning signs, suffering a broken hip requiring surgery and extended rehabilitation. The store initially made a modest offer, claiming she wasn’t watching where she was walking. Our slip and fall lawyers established liability under Section 5 of Alberta’s Occupiers’ Liability Act (RSA 2000, c O-4), demonstrating the store’s failure to take reasonable care to ensure visitor safety. We helped her pursue appropriate compensation covering surgical needs, rehabilitation support, home care considerations, and pain and suffering, properly accounting for her pre-existing osteoporosis under the thin skull rule established in Athey v. Leonati [1996] 3 SCR 458.
