Why Choosing the Right Law Firm Matters for Your Slip and Fall Case
Slip and fall or trip and fall accidents can happen in an instant—but the effects can last a lifetime. Whether your fall occurred on icy steps, a wet grocery store floor, or a poorly maintained public sidewalk, recovering compensation is not automatic. These cases are complex, and success depends on choosing a law firm with the experience, resources, and focus to do it right.
At Auger Hollingsworth, we understand how life-changing a fall injury can be—and we know how to build the strong, evidence-backed case you’ll need to recover fair compensation.
Not All Personal Injury Law Firms Are Equal
One of the most important decisions you will make after a fall is choosing who will represent you. Some firms operate on a high-volume model, aiming to settle quickly and move on. That might work for minor fender-benders, but it can be disastrous in a fall case, where liability is often disputed and injuries can be subtle yet long-lasting.
At Auger Hollingsworth, we treat each slip and fall or trip and fall case with the seriousness it deserves. We gather surveillance footage, preserve evidence, obtain expert opinions on property maintenance standards, and consult with your doctors to prove both fault and damages. We’re known across Ontario’s legal and insurance communities for being prepared, thorough, and trial-ready.
What Makes Fall Cases So Challenging?
Unlike car accidents, where there’s usually an official report and insurance framework in place, fall cases often involve private property owners or municipalities. Proving liability can require photographs, witness statements, and detailed records—things most injured people are not in a position to collect on their own.
Some firms may shy away from complex fall cases or push clients to settle early. That’s not our approach. We know that your injuries—especially concussions, fractures, and chronic pain—can evolve over time. We wait until the full impact is clear before recommending any settlement.
Why Experience and Reputation Matter
Insurance companies know which law firms build strong cases and which ones settle for convenience. If your lawyer lacks courtroom experience or a reputation for going to trial, the defence will notice—and you could be offered less.
