Premises liability lawyer in Toronto<\/b><\/h2>\n

Premises liability<\/span><\/a> is a legal concept. It is used to determine who is liable when someone suffers a personal injury while visiting a property. Below is a more detailed explanation of what that means in reality.<\/span><\/p>\n

The law says that the occupiers of a building or premises located in Ontario are required to keep people who enter that property reasonably safe from harm. So, when someone like you enters a premises or home, the commercial or private property owner, managers or tenants have a duty of care towards you. If you get hurt because of a failure on their part, they can be held liable.<\/span><\/p>\n

This law means that you can seek monetary compensation from them. Enough money to pay for your treatment, rehabilitation, suffering, loss of earnings and additional expenses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Provided that is that the accident has not occurred because of something that is out of the property occupiers \u2018control. For example, if you were at a garden centre and a stray dog entered and bit you. This would almost certainly be regarded as a danger that could not have been foreseen and prevented by the owner\/occupier. In that situation, they would likely have no case to answer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trespassing laws in Ontario are there to protect the interests of the owner rather than the trespasser. So, anyone who was injured while on someone’s premises without permission is rarely entitled to claim compensation from the property occupier or owner.<\/span><\/p>\n
