Slip and fall injuries in Toronto condos and apartment buildings leave many people unsure where to turn. Maybe you slipped on an icy front entrance, tripped on a broken lobby step, or went down in a dimly lit stairwell, and the question of who bears legal responsibility isn't clear-cut.
Knowing who is responsible matters because it determines whether you can recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain. Ontario's Occupiers' Liability Act sets the legal framework, but applying it to residential buildings, where multiple parties often share control over different spaces, takes careful analysis.
