Anyone who walks around the streets of cities in Ontario must take reasonable care to prevent slipping or tripping. However, if walking surfaces are hazardous, some of the responsibility to avoid slips and falls is carried by the municipality. Just like the occupiers of private or commercial premises, cities have a duty of care to the public.

Premises Liability

Ontario residents know how dangerous it can be when walking in the harsh winter, and many have to suffer the consequences of slip-and-fall accidents in the aftermath of the snowy season every year. Municipalities are responsible for the maintenance of sidewalks and roads, and if they do not live up to those expectations, falls resulting in serious injuries can occur. However, injured victims must report the incident to the municipality within 10 days if they want to hold the city responsible for damages.

Property owners in Ontario carry the responsibility of providing safe surroundings for any visitors who legally enter their premises. When dangerous situations cause injuries, the victim may pursue financial relief by filing a premises liability lawsuit against the property owner. The court will then consider whether the property owner caused harm to the plaintiff and whether it was due to carelessness or was unintentional. To make such a determination, the reasonable person standard will be applied.
