Statistics
The environment in Ottawa and across Canada, with its frigid winters and erratic precipitation patterns, makes slip and fall accidents more common. Recent figures show that a sizable percentage of personal injury claims nationwide are related to slip and fall incidents. According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, falls account for about 40% of injury-related hospital admissions, making them the most common cause of hospitalization
Slip and fall accidents are a serious concern, but many restaurant operators overlook just how much these accidents can impact their bottom line beyond the obvious ways. To help these restaurants better understand just how costly these accidents can be, the Cintas Corporation commissioned Harris Interactive to conduct a telephone survey of over 1000 American adults to identify how they would react to learning about a slip-and-fall accident at a restaurant they frequented. The survey found that one third of the adults surveyed said that they would be unlikely to return to dine out at a restaurant at which they knew someone had recently experienced a slip-and-fall accident, and that this trend disproportionately affected those restaurants with more family-oriented customer bases than more fine-dining focused establishments.

In Canada, there were 48,891 lost-time injury claims in 2017 that were connected to workplace falls.
Every year more than 3 million food service employees (and over 1 million guests) are injured as a result of restaurant slips and falls, according to the National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI). A recent NSFI study indicates that the industry spends over $2 billion on such injuries each year and that these injuries are increasing at an annual rate of about 10%

It can be challenging to determine an average payout for slip and fall cases since the circumstances of each case are different. In Ontario the average settlement amount for a slip and fall case is anywhere from $10,000 to $418,000
