WebSuperior Court deems plaza occupiers responsible for slip-and-fall injury, by Bernise Carolino - LAW TIMES, June 23, 2025
The Ontario Superior Court has ruled that the occupiers' shortcomings in properly salting and inspecting the parking spaces at a plaza and removing snow and ice from them were the probable cause of a woman's fall and consequent injury. The court found that the defendants' negligence caused the plaintiff's fall, that her damages would not have occurred but for that negligence, and that nothing in the evidence established the plaintiff's contributory negligence.

Our firm represented the plaintiff in this successful trial decision decision. Our client was an elderly lady who suffered serious injuries, including a broken hip requiring surgery, when walking through the parking lot of a large commercial plaza. The defendants, the owner of the plaza and their winter maintenance company, maintained that they followed an appropriate standard of care in regards to plowing, salting and inspecting the lot. The judge found in favor of our client, noting that the defendants failed to ensure that the rows of parking spaces had a sufficient amount of salt in order to prevent ice from accumulating where customers would be expected to walk to and from their cars.
