If you are injured because a premise was not reasonably safe, can you make a premises liability claim in BC?

It depends.  It is the responsibility of owners and occupiers in British Columbia to keep their properties reasonably safe for the ordinary use of those who are in the building or on the grounds.  If a person suffers an injury that was the result of a neglect to take reasonable steps to keep the premises safe, the injured person may hold the property owner or occupier responsible for the injury sustained under the Occupiers Liability Act. This is called a premises liability claim.  However, the law does not require that property owners and occupiers act to a perfect standard, rather, that they act in a reasonable way.

Owners or occupiers can be held responsible for unsafe conditions on their premises that result in injury.

Having represented many victims injured as a result of dangerous premises, the lawyers at League and Williams are acutely aware of what is needed to make a successful premises liability claim in these cases.  Our lawyers know what needs to be demonstrated and how to present these claims to recover fair compensation for the injuries suffered.

Further, our lawyers understand and care about how being injured impacts our clients’ lives.  When the victim is elderly they may face a loss of their capacity to live independently, sometimes a person who is injured cannot continue in their chosen occupation and must retrain, and if the victim is a child, their injuries may impact upon their development and can interfere with their education and future opportunities.  We work with our clients to ensure that they have access to the treatments they need to minimize the impact of their injuries and to get on with their lives.

We effectively demonstrate the losses that have been suffered while helping our clients recover from their injuries – giving our clients the best opportunity to recover the compensation they deserve.  League and Williams has successfully presented injury loss claims against property management firms, occupiers, owners or others whose negligence played a role in creating conditions that caused injury.
