Toronto Trip and Fall Accident Due to Low Lighting
Trip and fall accidents are particularly common where there are uneven surfaces, such as holes, divots depressions, steps, and dim or low lighting conditions. Property owners need to provide sufficient lighting or other markers or warning to guests in order to identify the presence of uneven surfaces. When a property owner in Ontario fails to provide sufficient lighting, or other markers or warnings of an uneven surface, the consequences can be severe. A person may not be able to see and appreciate the presence of a trip hazard. Such falls often result in serious injuries. Trip and fall accidents can result in orthopaedic injuries such as fractures to leg and ankle bones, often requiring surgery and insertion of plates and screws. These injuries can, and often do, result in lifelong problems associated with pain and reduced function and range of motion. In addition to bone fractures, a serious trip and fall accident may also result in a head injury or traumatic brain injury. Rarely, a trip and fall accident can result in death.
