In Ontario, the Occupiers Liability Act makes all owners and those
in control of premises, liable for injuries suffered on their premises
unless they took reasonable care to prevent those injuries. This
so for activities they intended to be carried on at their premises and
those that they knew were being carried on.
The type of injury you may be familar with is known as "slip and
fall". This can happen slipping on a poorly placed entry rug, oil
or water spilled on a grocery store floor, ice on an entry way to a
mall or store, ice and snow on a street or sidewalk, or tripping
hazards. Sometimes, serious injuries result.
Other tyes of failures may be the result of poor design, poor or insufficient lighting, even poor design of landscaped parks.
