Slips happen

And they happen more often than you think. Between 2002-2004, slip and fall incidents in Canada represented more than 50% of all injury hospitalizations and over 10,000 in-hospital deaths.

Slip and falls are the number one cause of accidents in hotels, restaurants and public buildings and 70% occur on flat and level surfaces. It is the second leading cause of accidental death and disability after automobile accidents.

If your customers hurt themselves on your property, they can sue you. These days, slips, trips or falls are leading to more lawsuits, with more Canadian courts finding businesses guilty of negligence and awarding higher compensation for injuries.
