A Winter-Maintenance Contract?
AVERAGE SLIP AND FALL
SETTLEMENT AMOUNTS IN CANADA
While every slip and fall case is unique, settlement amounts in Canada can vary significantly. The severity of the injury, the location of the accident, and the specifics of the negligence all play a crucial role in determining how much an Individual may be entitled to.
-
Minor Injuries: For less serious injuries, such as soft tissue damage or bruising, settlements typically range from $10,000 to $30,000.
-
Moderate Injuries: If injuries involve fractures or prolonged recovery periods, settlements range between $30,000 to $75,000.
-
Severe Injuries: In cases of life-changing injuries, such as spinal cord damage, brain injuries, or permanent disability, settlements can exceed $100,000, sometimes reaching up to $400,000 or more.
Factors Influencing Settlement: Key factors include the severity of your injuries, the extent of the negligence, whether the accident took place on public or private property, and the presence of insurance coverage.
Strata Liability Is Real. So Are Slip-and-Fall Claims.
Ice accumulation happens fast. Without a signed winter maintenance contract and proper documentation, your strata council could face massive legal exposure — with settlements, legal bills, and increased premiums that spiral out of control.
WHAT IS A WINTER-MAINTENANCE CONTRACT
AND HOW CAN IT SAVE YOU MONEY?
A winter maintenance contract is a service agreement between your property and a professional snow and ice management company—like Only-Strata Winter Maintenance Ltd.—that ensures proactive and timely salting, plowing, and ice control throughout the winter season.
Rather than reacting to snowfall or freezing conditions after they occur, this contract allows your property to receive automated, weather-monitored service whenever it’s needed—typically when temperatures drop below 0°C and precipitation is expected. Our dedicated team monitors weather conditions daily and determines when action is necessary, so you don’t have to guess or wait until it’s too late.
Why It Saves You Money:
• Prevents Costly Lawsuits: Slip and fall claims can cost tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees, damages, and increased insurance premiums. With a winter maintenance contract and our digital service reports, you have documented proof of preventative action, which can be critical in defending against liability claims.
• Predictable Budgeting: Rather than unpredictable, last-minute service calls at premium rates, you benefit from a fixed, seasonal cost that covers all necessary salting and plowing services.
• Protects Property & Residents: A safe, well-maintained property reduces the risk of injury and keeps residents, tenants, and visitors confident and secure throughout the season.
At Only-Strata, our winter maintenance contracts are built around proactive service, reliable reporting, and client protection. The cost of a full season of maintenance is significantly less than the price of dealing with a single major accident.
Invest in prevention—save on liability, avoid disruptions, and ensure peace of mind all winter long
Even An Unsuccessful Claim can costs upwards of $15,000+ in legal fees and lost time.
