We fight for the maximum compensation our clients are entitled to under Ontario law.
Slip and fall accidents can happen in apartment buildings, parking lots, retail stores, sidewalks, stairways, restaurants, office buildings, and other public or private properties. Serious falls can result in significant injuries, lengthy recovery periods, and substantial financial losses.
Falls are often caused by snow and ice, wet floors, uneven walkways, poor maintenance, inadequate lighting, broken stairs, missing handrails, potholes, and other hazardous conditions.
At Pelz Law Group, we fight for maximum compensation for individuals and families affected by serious slip and fall injuries throughout Toronto, the GTA, and Ontario.
Property owners, landlords, businesses, maintenance companies, property managers, and occupiers may be responsible when unsafe conditions contribute to a slip and fall accident. Compensation may be available for medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, income loss, future care needs, pain and suffering, and other accident related losses.

Personal injury lawyers in Ontario typically work on a contingency fee, using the Law Society of Ontario's standard agreement. You pay nothing up front, and the fee is paid from the settlement or award. At Pelz Law Group, there are no fees unless your case is won or settled.
Generally two years from the date of injury, under the Limitations Act, 2002. Shorter deadlines often apply first: 7 days to notify your auto insurer, 10 days for falls on city property, and 60 days for snow and ice falls on private property.

Serious claims typically take two to four years. A case should not settle until your recovery and future needs are clear. Accident benefits continue to pay for treatment in the meantime.
Rarely. Most cases resolve through negotiation or mediation. Preparing each file as if it will go to trial is what produces fair settlement offers.
