Slip and Fall Injury Claims
Injured on Unsafe Property? We Hold Owners Accountable.
Property owners in Alberta have a legal duty to keep their premises safe. If negligence caused your fall, UMPC LAW is here to help you recover the compensation you need to heal.
Overview of the Legal Issue
A “slip and fall” is more than just a clumsy moment—it can lead to life-altering injuries like fractures, head trauma, or chronic spinal pain. Under Alberta’s Occupiers’ Liability Act, property owners (whether it is a grocery store, a private homeowner, or a municipality) are required to take reasonable steps to ensure their visitors are safe.
However, proving liability is complex. Insurance companies often try to blame the victim, arguing that you should have been more careful or that the hazard was “obvious.” Without strong legal representation, you risk being denied compensation for an accident that was not your fault.
How UMPC LAW Helps
We move quickly to preserve the evidence that wins cases. In slip and fall claims, proving that the owner “knew or should have known” about the hazard is critical. Our team works to:
Secure Evidence
We obtain surveillance footage, scene photos, and witness statements before they disappear.
Analyze Maintenance Records
We scrutinize cleaning logs and snow removal contracts to prove the owner failed to follow their own safety protocols.
Establish Causation
We work with medical experts to clearly link your injuries to the specific conditions of the fall, preventing the insurer from dismissing your pain.
The Legal Process
What to Expect
- Immediate Investigation: We review the details of your fall and identify the liable party (Occupier).
- Notice of Claim: We file the necessary legal notices—this is especially critical for falls on municipal property, where deadlines are very short.
- Discovery: We question the property owner under oath to reveal their negligence.
- Resolution: We negotiate a settlement that covers your medical costs, lost income, and pain and suffering. If the insurer refuses to be fair, we are prepared to take the matter to court.
