How can I win a premises liability claim?
When filing a premises liability claim, one of the first steps you will take is to reach out to a skilled personal injury lawyer who will work to satisfy the burden of proof to recover the compensation you deserve. Your lawyer will then work to prove that the property owner knew of or should have known of the unsafe conditions on their property that led to your accident. Your attorney will then prove that the property owner failed to take action to resolve these hazards on their property, resulting in your injuries and significant damages.

What is the statute of limitations for premises liability claims in Toronto?
