Even if it may not be immediately apparent in the moments following an injurious accident, slips and falls on someone else’s property are often the result of negligence on the part of the premises’ owner and/or occupier. In the context of premises liability claims, the term “occupier” could refer to:
- Landlords
- Tenants
- Property managers
- Business owners
- Maintenance technicians
- Landscapers
- Superintendents
- Anyone who controls access to the space
- Anyone responsible for the property’s maintenance
- And possibly more
Unsuspecting accident victims often sustain injuries in slips and falls that occur while performing mundane tasks, like descending a flight of stairs, entering a retail outlet, or walking through a parking lot. Slips and falls can result in serious injuries that have profound physical, emotional, and financial impacts on accident victims’ lives. When hazardous maintenance issues on someone else’s commercial or residential property cause injurious accidents, the property’s owner/occupier may be liable for damages incurred by injured accident victims.
That is because property owners/occupiers owe the people who visit their premises a duty of care. As such, they must take preventative measures to keep guests reasonably safe while visiting their property. Property owners/occupiers are required to routinely inspect their premises, and address any potentially dangerous maintenance issues in a timely manner. If a property owner/occupier fails to adequately repair a hazardous maintenance issue, remove it from the site altogether, or sufficiently warn their guests about it, slips and falls could occur. And if they do, the property owner/occupier who failed to take appropriate preventative measures might be considered negligent. As such, they may be liable for damages incurred by the injured victims of resulting slip and fall accidents.

slip and fall accident FAQs
Here are some commonly asked questions for slip and fall accident claims
Who may be held liable for a slip and fall in Nova Scotia?
A property owner, tenant, business, maintenance company, or another party responsible for the premises may be liable. Under Nova Scotia’s Occupiers’ Liability Act, an occupier must take reasonable care to keep visitors reasonably safe. Responsibility depends on who controlled the property and whether reasonable precautions were taken.
What must I prove in a slip and fall claim?
You generally need to show that a hazardous condition existed, that the responsible party failed to take reasonable care, and that the hazard caused your injuries. Relevant evidence may include photographs, surveillance footage, inspection records, maintenance logs, incident reports, medical records, and witness statements.
Can I still make a claim if I was partly at fault?
Possibly. Nova Scotia’s contributory-negligence rules may reduce compensation when an injured person shares responsibility for an accident, rather than eliminating the claim entirely. For example, the insurer may argue that you were distracted or failed to use reasonable care. The outcome will depend on the evidence.
How long do I have to start a slip and fall claim in Nova Scotia?
The general limitation period is often two years from when the claim was discovered. However, shorter notice requirements or other rules may apply in certain situations, particularly when a government or public body is involved. Getting legal advice promptly can help protect important evidence and applicable deadlines.
How much does it cost to hire a slip and fall lawyer?
Preszler Injury Lawyers handles eligible slip and fall cases on a contingency-fee basis. You generally pay no legal fees upfront, and legal fees are collected only if compensation is recovered for you. We can explain the fee arrangement and any potential case expenses during your free initial consultation.
How can a slip and fall lawyer help with my case?
A slip and fall lawyer can determine who controlled the property, preserve surveillance footage, obtain inspection and maintenance records, interview witnesses, and document your injuries and financial losses. Your lawyer can also deal with the property owner’s insurer, assess settlement offers, and pursue your claim in court when appropriate.
